Tulane (168) at UAB (124), Tuesday 7 January 2025 at 6:30 PM

Tulane is 8-7 and 2-0, and have won four of the last five games. Tulane’s OOC schedule was almost as bad as UAB’s, ranking 336th by KenPom. They beat two non-D1 schools, Louisiana Christian (76-42) and Dillard (99-56). They have lost to two top-100 teams, George Mason (76-64) and FSU (77-64). Both games were not as close as the final scores.

Best win: at Charlotte (235), 83-68
Worst loss: New Orleans (345), 93-87 OT. James White had 31 points and 8 rebounds for NO.

KenPom projects both Tulane and UAB to finish conference play at 9-9.

UAB went 2-0 against Tulane last season, winning 83-69 at home and 78-67 in New Orleans.

KenPom has it: UAB 82 - Tulane 75
Barttorvik has it: UAB 81 - Tulane 75
Massey has it: UAB 80 - Tulane 75

I believe UAB has a 12-game winning streak against Tulane. Last loss to Tulane was March 3, 2007.

KenPom has it: UAB 82 - Tulane 75
Barttorvik has it: UAB 81 - Tulane 75
Massey has it: UAB 80 - Tulane 75

1500th game in UAB MBB History.

Better make clean looks against this zone.

We’ll win

EFEL - Tulane comes to town

I was wrong about a 12-game win streak. Tulane beat UAB 86-80 on February 15th, 2014. I missed that one. So as EFEL states, UAB has won 15 of the last 17 meetings.

UAB -8.5

I think we can blow them out but if we throw the ball away, miss FTs, and clean looks and it will go down to the wire.

KenPom prediction has now moved one point in Tulane’s favor. UAB 81-Tulane 75.

Just as a disgusting reminder, Tulane’s football team put up 71 points against UAB this past fall.

Tulane is one of the many schools that have maddeningly passed UAB by in the last several years. I love beating them and putting them in their place.

They have blown by us in football but not basketball.

We’re playing the Tar Heels tonight
