Rice at UAB

This is a match-up of two teams heading in opposite directions. UAB was off to a 6-3 start, but has since gone just 6-9. They have played probably their worst basketball of the season recently, having dropped three straight at home. Rice is off of a nice win at SMU, and has won three straight games. But more importantly, they have now only failed to cover just once in their last 10 games. We will go with the hot-hand and take the dog here.
