North Texas vs UAB Prediction
UAB comes into this matchup after winning four of their last five games and they will be at home for this one. The Blazers are shooting 44% from the field and they have scored 78 and 76 points in their last two games. North Texas has dropped two of their last three games and they are fighting to just make the American Tournament. The Mean Green are shooting 43% from the field and they have allowed 80 and 77 in two of their last three games. North Texas just isn’t as good defensively as they normally are, so I like UAB at home.
