Betting Trends for vs
The North Texas Mean Green are currently the top team in C-USA as they bring a 9-2 record into this matchup, and they will get a chance to expand their lead against a struggling UAB team that is below the .500 mark in conference play. The Mean Green have been good on the defensive side of the court this season as they are holding their opponents to an average of 63.3 PPG, but they have also shown a flash of explosive scoring, especially in conference play as they are averaging 74.8 PPG. UAB is amongst the worst in the country at scoring the basketball as they are only averaging 65.7 PPG, and their only source of production has come from their underclassmen as Jalen Benjamin and Tavin Lovan are each averaging 12 PPG. North Texas has been lighting it up from behind the three-point line in conference play as they are connecting on 40.9% of their attempts, and I think they will find success against the struggling Blazers. Final Score Prediction, North Texas Mean Green win and cover ATS 72-63.
