KenPom's predictor has us losing this game by 3. These are relatively evenly matched teams. UAB has played absolutely no one to this point though. They lost to the best team they played, Kent State. That game was at Kent State, but the Golden Flashes are 5-4. Yancy Gates and Steve Toyloy have their hands full with Elijah Millsap. His brother is Paul Millsap of the Utah Jazz. We need Deonta Vaughn to get going. Lance Stephenson and Yancy Gates could carry the team, but a 3 headed monster makes things a whole lot easier. I think that the Cats take this one down on the road. Yancy goes for 14-10, Stephenson 17-8-3, Vaughn 14-2-6. The surprise star of the game, Darnell Wilks. Prediction: Cincinnati 68 UAB 62
How did that prediction work out for you bub?
