I know I'm taking UAB +1 on this game because they are the better all around team. They even have an RPI of 46 vs Tulsa's 129. Not to mention their defense stands up better than Tulsa's. Offense is roughly the same with only a 0.1 difference in point scoring. However, it's the second half that will make the difference for the Blazers as the legs get tired from Tulsa they won't shoot as good and UAB will still be able to stop more shots and still score. I've got them winning by 5.
