The UAB women's and men's basketball teams played exhibition games in a doubleheader against Tuskegee University and Lindenwood University, respectively, on Thursday, Nov. 3.

The women started the evening by defeating Tuskegee 88-67, followed by the men emerging victorious over Lindenwood 92-69.

With seven true freshmen and a redshirt freshman, this team is relatively young. This showed during the first quarter, when the Blazers were down 12-9 in the first few minutes.

"They [Tuskegee] were hitting some shots I was surprised about and it tested us," women's basketball Head Coach Randy Norton said.
