SOUTHERN MISS (15 - 16) vs. UAB (21 - 10) @ 2:30 PM
The UAB Blazers, the 3rd seed in C-USA tourney, will take on 11th seeded Golden Eagles of Southern Miss. USM pulled the upset over UCF 77-53 to advance to today’s second round matchup.
UAB and Southern Miss will meet for a third time this year, UAB has dominated this matchup this season, winning by 30 at home (86-56). And winning by 17 on road (66-49).
Southern Miss’s first win in almost a month Yesterday does nothing to make me think they are a better team than they have displayed all year. USM is 3-15 ATS in last 18.USM is also 4-17 ATS off an upset win over a conference rival as an underdog since 1997.
UAB on the other hand come in today’s game off a first round bye, going 21-10 on the season, and 11-5 in conference play. One fact that I love from a team is that as a team, the Blazers are leading Conference USA in field goal percentage, connecting on 46.1 percent of their shots from the floor, while also hitting 33.5 percent from beyond the arc this season.
I expect both teams to show there true colors today.

Another UAB blowout!
