East Carolina vs UAB Prediction
UAB is getting the benefit of the doubt because of the rest advantage, but it was East Carolina that won the only meeting this season. East Carolina was a 2.5-point underdog against UAB and won while dropping 82 points on its head. UAB ended the regular season in shaky form, which included upset losses to Tulane and Memphis. I don’t see much of a gap between East Carolina and UAB if we’re being honest. I’ll take a shot with the points in the AAC Quarterfinal.
