Feb 27 Matchup: UAB Faces Tough Test at Home

UAB is riding a three-game win streak, and their recent dominance at home has made them a tough opponent to beat. Meanwhile, their opponent has dropped four of their last five, struggling to find consistency on both ends of the court. Injuries could play a key role in this one, as UAB’s starting center is healthy and primed to control the glass, whereas their opponent is missing a key rotational forward. Historically, UAB has matched up well, exploiting defensive lapses in their opponent's perimeter defense. Considering their momentum and home-court advantage, backing UAB on the moneyline at -125 holds decent value. While the odds suggest a fairly even contest, UAB's recent form and roster stability give them a strong edge. This pick gets a B+ due to the solid return on investment and likelihood of success.
