College basketball: Florida Atlantic at UAB prediction, opportunities and as you can see

Uab would like to bounce back from a strenuous loss against Memphis when the Blazer take place this evening in the Florida Atlantic.

The Blazer (19-10, 12-4) led Memphis around six at halftime, but looked defeated late in the second half when the Tigers exploded for 52 points in the second half, including 20 points in the last eight minutes to move out for the 88-81 victory. There was still the possibility that the Blazer could secure the top seed in the AAC tournament if they won this game.

Now you are included in a second, third or fourth seeds, which means that you still have two byes and only have to play in the quarter -finals.

In the meantime, the FAU (16-13, 9-7) with East Carolina is bound for fifth place in the league classification and cannot climb up to the top 4, even if the owls win. The best thing you can do is to bind tulans for fourth place, but the green wave has the tiebreaker.

Fau and Uab met on January 12, where the Blazer 81-76 won.

Florida Atlantic at the UAB prediction

I assume that Uab covers the 5.5-point spread. I also predict that this game goes over 163.5 points.

I can only imagine how eager the blazers are to get the taste of this Memphis loss out of the mouth. I think you will come to this game in this game in Senior Night and don't hold back. This will be Yaxel Lendeborg's last game in the Bartow Arena and I expect him to organize a show.

The AAC pre -season player of the year had a bad excursion against Memphis and was bad for a large part of the game. In the previous meeting, the owls had no response to Lendeborg, especially in color. He ended with 22 points, 10 rebounds and seven templates.

It will be interesting to see how Fau approaches this game. In his victory against Südflorida on Sunday, the owls 6-foot 7 Kaleb Glenn and 7-feet-matas-vokietaitis started to increase five. It was Glenn's first start of the season and vokietaitis' first start since January 2. It seemed when the OWLs transferred the USF by eight and this duo had a great presence in color.

The blazers are the best rebound team in the league and achieve an insulting rebound in 39% of the cases, which is the top brand in the league. The FAU is in the lower half in the AAC and enables O-Boards in 32.9% of cases, which is third.

If Glenn and Vokietaitis can play in color like against USF, you could limit the ability of UAB for points of the second chance. The Blazers Pro Teamrankings.com are the Blazers on average five additional value opportunities per game that is the 21st best in the country.

Overall, I think that the UAB offensive will be too strong for Florida Atlantic and that the recordings – especially in the senior evening – will fall. Lendeborg heads the team with 17.3 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, while Alejandro Vasquez adds 11.6 ppg and Christian Coleman chips with 11.4 ppg and 7.3 RPG.

Glenn leads the owls from the bank with 12.9 ppg and he grabs 5 RPG. Tre Carroll is an average of 12.1 ppg and 5.3 RPG and Baba Miller an average of 11 ppg and 6.9 RPG.

UAB is 11-12 against the spread as a favorite and the FAU is 1-6 ATS as an outsider.
