UAB vs North Texas Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with a 7-2 conference record, so this is a huge game at the top of the AAC standings. North Texas had their winning streak snapped in their last game and they will be on the road for this game. The Mean Green aren’t the best offensively, but they are very good on defense, as they have allowed 54 points in each of their last two games. UAB has won two games in a row and they are scoring over 84 points per game this year. The Blazers have been very high-scoring this year, but they don’t play much defense. North Texas did get the win in the first meeting between these teams by a score of 78-75, but I think UAB’s offense will be too much at home. Take the Blazers here.
