BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -Robert Vaden hit eight 3-pointers and finished with 26 points to help UAB come from behind to defeat Tulsa 84-70 Wednesday night.
The win clinched second place in Conference USA for the Blazers and the second seed in the upcoming league tournament in Memphis, Tenn.

UAB (22-8, 12-3) won for the seventh time in eight games. Tulsa (16-12, 7-8 CUSA) lost for only the second time in eight games.
Tulsa led 39-36 at halftime, and the game stayed tight deep into the second half.
UAB led 61-60 with 8:29 left in the game, and that's when Vaden took over. He hit four 3-pointers over the next four minutes, some from well beyond the arc.
Vaden's final three gave UAB 77-65 lead with 4:25 left. Tulsa could get no closer than 10 points the rest of the way.
