March 2022 Madness Predictions: UAB (+8.5) over Houston:

The Cougars, who have lost four of their five away games this season, have proven they can beat a tournament side just once this season. It will be a struggle for them to make it again in this 5-12 match. Similar to the teams that defeated Houston, UAB possess a fast, efficient offense that hits 38.4 percent of 3-pointers. Expect the nation to hear about former Seton Hall guard Jordan Walker, USA’s conference player of the year, who averaged 31 points per game in the conference tournament.
