UAB is coming into this game with an 18-10 record this season and they are currently sitting in 4th place in the conference at 10-5. They have been playing well in their recent games as they have won 4 of their last 6 games. They have lost 2 of their last 3 and are coming off of a loss at home against Wichita State in their last game, but they were likely looking ahead to this game as Memphis is right behind them in the standings by a half game. They are going to be hungry to bounce back in this game after losing at home in their last game and they have been good on the road recently as they have won 3 of their last 4 games on the road with their only loss in that span coming against SMU by 3 points. They are going up against a Memphis team that is 21-8 this season and is currently sitting in 5th place in the conference at 10-6. They have won their last 3 straight games and have some impressive wins at home in that span as they beat FAU and Charlotte, but they are also going to be looking ahead in this game as they finish the season with FAU on the road in their next game. They do have a week to rest before that last game of the season but UAB is still trying to prove themselves as tournament worthy and they are going to get up for this game with a chance to keep their lead over Memphis in the conference and add a very nice win to their resume while hurting Memphis' tournament chances in the process. UAB has played in a lot of close games in their losses this season and they did beat Memphis at home earlier this season, they are going to be fighting hard for the win here and they will be able to keep this game close even if they lose. UAB will cover the spread in this game.
