Morehead State Eagles vs UAB Blazers Predictions 3/19/2023

 

The UAB Blazers, a #4 seed, are one of the top teams still in the NIT despite missing the NCAA Tournament by one game.

 

In the C-USA championship game, where they lost to FAU 78-56, they were two-point favorites.

 

UAB bounced back from that loss by defeating Southern Mississippi 88-60 in the opening round to cover the significant 8.5-point spread on Tuesday night.

 

The Blazers covered the spread in three of their previous four matches and are 9-1 in their last ten matchups.

 

One of the top players in DI is Jordan Walker. The senior guard frequently scored more than 30 points. After scoring 16 points on Tuesday, he cooled off a bit recently and produced an average of 23.2 PPG this season.

 

With three straight games of 40% or lower shooting, Eric Gaines was not at his best. The guard’s averages this season are 11.6 PPG and 4.5 APG.

 

KJ Buffen scored 26 points to help his team win the first round. The senior forward averages 10.9 PPG and 6.8 RPG while compiling six double-doubles.

 

  • The UAB Blazers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 matches.
  • The total went UNDER in 5 of UAB’s last 7 matches.
  • The Blazers are 9-1 SU in their last 10 matches.

Morehead State Eagles vs UAB Blazers. The NCAAB pick for this game is the UAB Blazers. The Ohio Valley conference in which the Morehead State Eagles compete is weak, and their advanced metrics are subpar.

 

The UAB Blazers were the top C-USA club this season and were only one victory away from earning a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

 

They are enjoying a 23-8 record and are 9-1 in their last ten games. Moreover, Morehead State has a subpar offensive unit.

 

They rank 265th in DI with only 100.8 points scored per 100 possessions, while UAB scores 112.6 points per 100, making this spread more than fair.

 

Seven fewer points are being given up per 100 possessions by the Blazers than the Eagles. Jordan Walker, a talented player for UAB, has the capacity to lead a team to victory.

 

He has a stunning season PPG average of 23. The UAB Blazers will win to a predicted score of 75-69.
