Alabama-Birmingham has the fourth-best defense in the country giving up 59.1 points a game. That's bad news for San Antonio, who rely heavily on their backcourt for scoring. The Under is 6-1-1 in UAB's last eight road games.
The Blazers, though, have suspect scoring. UAB's statistics are skewed by their last game when it scored 117 points against Rust College. In their previous four games, the Blazers couldn't break 64 points. San Antonio flashed defensive potential three games ago holding Florida International to 47 points.
