Sharp College Basketball Bet: UAB-North Texas
North Texas is a 2-point favorite in a game with a 128.5-point total.
The pick is North Texas covering the 2 points in a game of massively contrasting styles. UAB scores 82 points per game and plays at one of the faster tempos in the country. They already played North Texas at home and lost by double digits, but UAB was without its best player. The Blazers will not be able to dictate tempo, and that will be a massive problem against the Mean Green defense.
North Texas is 19-5 and plays at the slowest tempo in the entire country. It pairs that with a top-end defense, and that is why the Mean Green are only averaging 62 points per game despite a fantastic record. This team has won four straight, three of those by double digits, and already has a win against UAB. North Texas will control the tempo and ultimately the game en route to a cover tonight.
