10* NIT CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER **MUST PLAY!**
(NCAAB) UAB vs. North Texas,
Money Line: -130.00 UAB (Away)
Result: Loss
10* UAB (NIT WINNER)

It all comes down to this. A decent offensive team, vs. a decent defensive team. The old saying that "defense wins championships" will NOT be apt in this particular contest in my opinion though. The Blazers allow 70.3 points per game, but their defense finally catches a break here facing a UNT offense that averages only 64.4 PPG. Yes the Mean Green only allow 55.7, but the Blazers' are averaging 81.3 points per game. I say that it's UNT that finally runs out of momentum and gas here. Look for UAB to pull away down the stretch and lay the short points!
