Seattle vs. UT-Arlington Prediction

I’m with Seattle here. Not just trying to jump on the road favorite just because here, but I really haven’t liked what I’ve seen from UT-Arlington in a lot of their recent outings. The RedHawks have just been playing the better basketball coming into this game and being at home seemingly hasn’t helped the Mavericks at all here. The RedHawks have the best defense in the WAC this season from an efficiency standpoint and pretty much across the board as well and they force a lot of turnovers which has been UT-Arlington’s biggest fault on the offensive end of the floor. I think those turnovers prove to be the difference here as Seattle bags the win and covers on the road in this one.
