What to Know

The UAB Blazers' road trip will continue as they head to Murphy Athletic Center at 9 p.m. ET Monday to face off against the Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous games.

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday the Blazers proved too difficult a challenge. UAB was able to grind out a solid win over Louisiana Tech, winning 81-74. It took four tries, but UAB can finally say that they have a victory on the road.

Meanwhile, it was a close one, but last Wednesday Middle Tenn. sidestepped the Rice Owls for a 71-68 win. Middle Tenn. can attribute much of their success to guard Eli Lawrence, who had 21 points in addition to five rebounds, and forward DeAndre Dishman, who posted a double-double on 17 points and ten boards along with three blocks.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Blazers are expected to win a tight contest. Those who got lucky with them against the spread this past Saturday 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.

UAB came out on top in a nail-biter against the Blue Raiders when the two teams previously met in March of last year, sneaking past 102-98. UAB's victory shoved Middle Tenn. out of the playoffs, so they have a target on their back.
