What to Know

The UAB Blazers will be returning home after a three-game road trip. UAB and the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs will face off in a Conference USA battle at 3 p.m. ET Saturday at Bartow Arena. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Blazers strolled past the Southern Miss Golden Eagles with points to spare on Wednesday, taking the game 81-68.

Meanwhile, the Old Dominion Monarchs typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday Louisiana Tech proved too difficult a challenge. The Bulldogs captured a comfortable 67-54 win.

UAB is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past four games.

UAB was able to grind out a solid victory over Louisiana Tech in the teams' previous meeting in January, winning 83-76. Will the Blazers repeat their success, or does Louisiana Tech have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
