Who's Playing

Charlotte @ UAB

Current Records: Charlotte 9-2; UAB 9-2

What to Know

The UAB Blazers will play host again and welcome the Charlotte 49ers to Bartow Arena, where tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET Thursday. After these two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.

The Blazers made easy work of the Southern Jaguars on Sunday and carried off a 92-66 win. UAB's guard Jordan Walker did his thing and shot 6-for-13 from beyond the arc and finished with 25 points and six dimes.

Meanwhile, the sound you heard on Saturday was the absolute smackdown Charlotte laid on the Monmouth Hawks.

UAB is the favorite in this one, with an expected 10.5-point margin of victory. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Sunday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 9-2. Both UAB and Charlotte have easy wins in recent memory. We'll see which one's ego takes a hit when they face off.
