UAB vs North Texas Prediction 

North Texas comes into this matchup on a two game losing streak and they have scored 67 points or fewer in three of their last four games. The Mean Green are shooting 43% from the field and they are only averaging 34 rebounds per game. UAB has lost two of their last three games and they have allowed 82 points or more in three of their last five. The Blazers are shooting 45% from the field and they have scored 77+ in four of their last five. These teams play at two different paces, but I think UAB’s lack of defense will speed the game up. Take the over here.
