I'm not betting an Over in a Drake U game vs an opponent they should manhandle on both ends of the ball. UAB are scrappy, but they're allowing 76 points per game at home, and if Drake get a sizeable lead, UAB might not even hit 60 points here. UAB are the better rebounding team but Drake average more 3pt shots made and attempted per game, making them the more dangerous offense as well. I'll lay the point with Drake, who haven't been the most trustworthy ATS, but has too many advantages mainly on the defensive end in regards to blocks, turnovers forced and free-throw percentage made. UAB will try to force the issue offensively to overwhelm Drake, but could possibly be without #3 option Alejandro Velasquez who's nursing an ankle injury and is questionable to play. Drake also have 3 players over 6'5 that average more points and rebounds than 2 of the best scorers and rebounders for UAB so the rebounding category advantage could not be as valuable for the Blazers as the stats say.
