UAB vs Florida Atlantic Prediction

I’m on UAB here. I think that UAB is still one of the best offensive units in the AAC, and I don’t think that FAU has what it takes to hang with the Blazers for a full 40 minutes. This isn’t the same FAU offense from past years or even the last few weeks and FAU all season long has had issues taking the step up in class against the AAC’s best on the road. I think UAB defends home court and gets the win and cover in this one.
