Point Spread Pick for South Florida vs. UAB
- UAB Blazers to cover. (4 Units)
The Blazers have the edge here because they’re playing better offensively, scoring more than 82 points per game, while making over 46 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 77 percent of their free throws in their last three games. They rebound the ball well and grab more than 10 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also turn the ball over less than 10 times per game, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Bulls aren’t very good defensively, and they give up more than 85 points per game on the road, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Blazers. Take UAB to cover the spread.
