Last game, I predicted that UAB would lose to UTEP, and with ten minutes to play against them, they were ten points behind, and with a minute or two to go, they were down by three or four, and it was amazing that they tied the game in regulation and outscored UTEP in overtime to win.

This evening, against USM, I also predict that UAB is going to lose to a team with a 17 wins and only 4 losses, is 6-0 in conference play, and is on an 8 game winning streak. I mean, geez! This game is a tougher challenge than UTEP, and UAB beat UTEP by the skin of their teeth.

The best advice for our UAB Team I can think of is for them to make very few bad passes or fumbles over the course of the entire game, and, instead, pass the ball very well to create high percentage shots, and as for defense, force USM into as many turnovers as possible and force them to take low percentage shots, and also, crash the boards(be very active, as a team, rebounding) on both ends of the court, and finally, keep super intense, yet organized pressure on the opponents for every second of forty minutes.

"I don't think our UAB team can sustain that intense, mistake free, level of play for forty minutes".

Prove me wrong!

Are we playing Southern Miss or Iowa? Those logos look alike.

Everyone needs to keep their negative predictions to themselves. They serve no purpose and nobody wants to read them. If it turns out you are right, you can come back and brag about how much you know about basketball and trash the team. For someone who continually spouts off about Bartow like he is some kind of god that you worship at the altar of, that does not seem very Bartow-like

If you think they will lose, keep it to your damn self.

not too long ago Iowa sued So Miss (or at least threatened to sue) over trademark issues...thats why the eagle changed a bit. it looks less like the hawkeye than it used to (i feel like another poster who throws random and non-relevant semi-history lessons about non-related schools into the middle of threads).

while im at it, i'll mention that Iowa got a huge win over #1 Penn State last night, giving PSU their first dual meet loss in over 14 months (feel free to ignore this entire post)

If we win again tonight maybe Gorilla should predict a loss from here on out. His predictions could the contrarian version of starting Pipo Marrero. Viva La Pipo!

My prediction is that your predictions are as irrelevant now as they were at the start of the season.

My prediction is that due to when I go to home games these past few years, we're undefeated in those games. So I say we'll win until proven otherwise! I wish I had been able to go to Memphis game this year & was planning it but got sick.

Blazers are 4.5 to 5 point underdogs

UAB covered the spread.
