North Texas vs UAB Prediction
North Texas has had the better season and should be favored, but the value is with UAB and the points. UAB is one of the best scoring teams in the country and that could be even more of a factor after both teams played yesterday. The two meetings this season also came down to the wire, as North Texas won by three points in December, while UAB won by three points in early February. Three of the last four games between UAB and North Texas have been decided by three points. Give me UAB and the bucket.
