Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at UAB Blazers Prediction

strength is their defense allowing just 64.1 points per game and and even better 60.7 PPG in conference play.UAB should be highly motivated for this game after a dismal performance against mediocre FIU in their latest. A key part in the upset was starting guard Hakeem Baxter being taken out of the game with a knee injury after just 5 minutes of play. I expect him back for this game to secure a defense that has been lights out at home holding the opposition to a 37.5 FG%.
