Why UAB can cover
UAB has been playing its best basketball in conference play, winning seven of its last eight games.

Their other AAC setback came on the road against Memphis, which is the top team in the conference.
They have bounced back from that loss with a pair of double-digit wins over Tulsa and Charlotte to remain one game back in the standings. Senior guard Alejandro Vasquez led UAB with 26 points on 10 of 15 shooting off the bench in the win over Charlotte, while senior forward Yaxel Lendeborg had 22 points, 14 rebounds and five assists. The Blazers are riding a six-game home winning streak, and they have covered the spread in 12 of their last 14 conference games. See which team to pick here.
