Basketball season is here, and UAB men’s basketball’s Deuce Jones and Justyn Fernandez join Madison Paige to talk about it. They share their transfer portal journeys, what drew them to Coach Andy Kennedy’s honest, high-intensity program, and what it means to step into leadership roles on a new-look roster. They also talk about the offseason grind, the freshmen and returners they’re watching, and their goals: an NCAA Tournament run and a packed Bartow Arena. Then it gets fun, with 600 pairs of discarded shoes, a 51-point senior night, Birmingham wing orders, and pregame meal debates. Tune in for a preview of what’s ahead for Blazer basketball.

With UAB football riding high and ESPN’s SportsCenter fresh off a visit to campus, Madison Page sits down with head coach Alex Mortensen during the Blazers’ bye week.

He also talks about the defense under Coach Grantham, what he’s focused on fixing before the road trip to South Florida, and what he’s learned in his first season as a head coach, including lessons from his years under Nick Saban. He closes with his take on the transfer portal, the “new Blazers” movement, and the memes fans are making about him.
