What to Know

UAB is 8-2 against Southern Miss since January of 2018, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. The UAB Blazers will be playing at home against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles at 8:00 p.m. ET at Bartow Arena. UAB might want some stickum for this contest since the team gave up ten turnovers on Tuesday.

After a string of four wins, UAB's good fortune finally ran out. They suffered a grim 81-60 defeat to the Cowboys. UAB didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.

The losing side was boosted by Daniel Ortiz, who scored 20 points. Less helpful for UAB was Efrem Johnson's abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.

Southern Miss can finally bid farewell to their three-game losing streak thanks to their game on Saturday. They walked away with a 90-84 victory over the Panthers. The high flying offensive effort was a huge turnaround for Southern Miss' 54-point performance the matchup before.

The Blazers' win lifted them to 4-3 while the Cowboys' loss dropped them down to 6-2.

Going forward, UAB is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by nine points. For those looking to play the spread, keep UAB's opponent in mind: they have a subpar 2-5 record against the spread vs Southern Miss over their last seven matchups.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: UAB have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 39 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Southern Miss struggles in that department as they've been averaging 37.7 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
