3.3* early evening winner comes in Conference USA where I'm giving out a play backed by a full in depth analysis.


Houston has proven they can rebound from disappointing losses and after losing by double digits at home in their last game I think they'll be up to the task. They are 6-2-1 ats following a home loss of more than 10 points. UAB is a struggling road team shooting just 36% over their last 5 games from the field and are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 road games. Houston will get to the FT line considerably more and I think they are dangerous from the perimeter shooting nearly 40% from 3 at home. UAB has struggled offensively, but are also ranked 257th in two point defense where Houston should also hold an advantage tonight. Houston wants and needs this game just as much and I think they'll get it.
