The top spot in the West Division of Conference USA is on the line in the Lone Star State on Saturday afternoon. The UAB Blazers are on the road as they head west to face the #22 UTSA Roadrunners . UAB comes in with a 7-3 record and off a 21-14 road upset of Marshall while UTSA is a perfect 10-0 after beating Southern Miss 27-17 at home last Saturday. The Blazers have won four of the five previous meetings between the schools, including a 21-13 home win in the most recent matchup on October 3, 2020. UAB’s offense is averaging 381 yards per game on 6.2 yards per play and are scoring 28 points per game while the Roadrunners are putting up 38.6 points on 446 yards per game at a clip of 6.2 yards per play. UAB prefers a slow paced game as they rank 126th in tempo and relies on their running game heavily by rushing on 63.9% of their plays. UTSA likes to speed it up ranking 46th in the nation in tempo and also runs the ball more than they throw at just over 56%. This should be a fun one as both teams come in with big play potential. UAB has the 3rd most plays of 30 yards or more (34) and UTSA ranks 33rd with 25 big plays. I realize that the Blazers don’t pass often, but when they do, they have the edge in the game. UAB is averaging 9.7 yards per pass and they will be up against a beatable UTSA secondary who gives up 7.8 yards per pass. The Blazer’s win this ballgame if they can sustain the run to set up the pass and continue with their big plays down the field. Take UAB +5
The #20 North Carolina Tar Heels and #7 Purdue Boilermakers meet this afternoon at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET. The Tar Heels have won all three of their games to date but haven’t really faced anybody of note so far. UNC topped Loyola-Maryland by 16, Brown by seven and won at Charleston by 11. They failed to cover in all three outings. The Boilermakers haven’t really faced high-caliber competition, either, but they have won all three of its games by 25 or more points against Bellarmine, Indiana State and Wright State. The Tar Heels are scoring 90.3 points per game and shooting 52.8% from the floor, however on defense, they are allowing more points than the opposition is averaging by 1 point, 2% from the floor and 3% more from beyond the arc. This will be a huge jump up in class for new head coach Hubert Davis and his UNC squad. Purdue enters the contest shooting 51.9% from the field, 41.7 from 3 and are scoring 94.7 points per game but the edge for the Boilermakers will come on the defensive side as they are limiting offenses to 62 points per game, 36.8% from the field and 26.1% from beyond the arc. According to KenPom, the Boilermakers rank 2nd in the nation is adjusted offensive efficiency and their defense is ranked 19th in adjusted efficiency. Purdue’s offense should be able to put up points against UNC’s 108th ranked adjusted defensive efficiency and although the Tar Heels have a top 20 offense, the Purdue defense should be able to limit them. Take Purdue -6.5
