UAB Blazers vs. Southern Illinois Salukis Prediction
I’m on UAB here. I think that UAB is still one of the premier programs in the mid-major game and they’ve started to pick up some solid victories as of late. Southern Illinois has had a game to shake off any rust, but I think that the Blazers get it done in this one. Give me UAB here.
