What to Know

The UAB Blazers will be returning home after a two-game road trip. UAB and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers will face off in a Conference USA battle at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday at Bartow Arena. The Blazers are out to keep their ten-game home win streak alive.

UAB was close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 90-87 to the Florida International Panthers. If the result catches you off guard, it should: UAB was far and away the favorite.

Meanwhile, WKU beat the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners 74-64 this past Saturday.

This next game looks promising for UAB, who are favored by a full 10 points. There could be an interesting gambling play in this one, as they have done quite well against the spread at home this season while the Hilltoppers have struggled against the spread on the road.

The Blazers came out on top in a nail-biter against WKU when the two teams previously met in January of last year, sneaking past 68-65. Will UAB repeat their success, or does WKU have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
