The teams split their matchups last year, with UAB winning the first 76-69 at home on the road and Old Dominion taking the second 65-58.

The contest between Old Dominion and the Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders this past Thursday was not a total blowout, but with Old Dominion falling 63-48 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Old Dominion's loss came about despite a quality game from forward Austin Trice, who posted a double-double on 18 points and 13 rebounds. That makes it three consecutive games in which Trice has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, everything went UAB's way against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles this past Thursday as they made off with an 84-63 victory. Among those leading the charge for the Blazers was guard Jordan Walker, who had 25 points and eight assists.

The Monarchs are expected to lose this next one by 7.5. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past three games, so buyers beware.

Old Dominion is now 9-15 while UAB sits at 19-5. A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Old Dominion is stumbling into the matchup with the 45th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 65.8 on average. UAB's offense has more to brag about, as they they come into the game boasting the eighth most points per game in college basketball at 81.4. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
