The UAB Blazers are the better team with the rest advantage, but they’re running into a hot FAU team that’s playing well defensively and is a feisty bunch that loses by an average of just 1.9 points as an underdog. Also, FAU won last night in blowout fashion, so none of their starters played more than 29 minutes. That’s great on the end of a back to back. I like the Owls to hang around here and even have a chance to steal it late.
