Brewer's big night came in handy as Blazers' star Jordan "Jelly" Walker made just 5 of 23 shots from the floor and finished with 17 points. In the second semifinal, UAB outlasted Utah Valley 88-86 in overtime behind a career-high 30 points from Ty Brewer, who made 13 of 17 shots from the field, including a 4-of-5 performance from 3-point range. Defense was the defining element of UNT's rally, though, as Wisconsin made just one shot from the floor over the game's final 13 minutes. The hero of the second half was Rubin Jones, who scored all 12 of his points after the break, including a game-tying jumper with 2:45 remaining. Tylor Perry led North Texas with 16 points, 14 of which came in the first half. The Mean Green held the Badgers scoreless over the game's final nine minutes and produced just enough offense of their own to rally from a 54-46 deficit. North Texas completed a remarkable rally over the final nine minutes of the first NIT semifinal on Tuesday night to edge Wisconsin 56-54.
The Mean Green have a 2-1 edge in the season series, although UAB's lone victory came in the most recent meeting, when the Blazers knocked UNT out in the C-USA Tournament semifinals. Both teams are completing their final seasons in Conference USA, which is 17-1 in postseason games, and will be joining the AAC next season. The finals of the NIT Championship will pit familiar foes against each other as UAB and North Texas will meet for the fourth time this season in Thursday's title game after both won thrilling semifinal games on Tuesday in Las Vegas.
