Point Spread: -7/-105 UAB

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Win

Today's winner is UAB over Tulane. This is my Conference USA Game of the Year.

UAB has won and covered 7 of their L9 overall. As a matter of fact, the Blazers have taken 8 straight over the Green Wave, covering 7 of the 8, including 4 straight. Cameron Moore leads UAB with 16.2 PPG and 10.4 RPG. Tulane can not even contain the Forward. When the 'Wave lost Kendall Timmons in January, it exposed how thin the team really is. They have dropped 7 in a row SU and 6 in a row ATS, getting crushed by 15.0 PPG in their L6 contests. C-USA's best 3-point shooting team is UAB. So, they can take you down from outside and have Timmons to hurt you on the inside. The favorite is 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings. The Green Wave is 8-23 ATS their L31 games played vs. C-USA, 5-16 ATS their L21 games played as a 'dog, and 0-5 ATS their L5 games following an ATS loss. The Blazers are 4-1 ATS their L5 games played against C-USA, 8-2 ATS their L10 games played as a favorite of 7-12 1/2 points, and 5-0 ATS their L5 games following an ATS loss. Take UAB. Thank you.
