The UAB Blazers will host the No.25 Cincinnati Bearcats on Wednesday at the Bartow Arena in Birmingham, AL.
The last time these two teams met was on Dec.6, 2008. The Bearcats won that one 87-80.
The Blazers are heading into Wednesday’s match up riding a seven-game win streak, coming away with a 74-52 win over East Tennessee State on Friday night. Jamarr Sanders led the team with 17 points, followed by George Drake with 16, while Elijah Millsap scored 15 points and dragged down 11 rebounds, and Kenneth Cooper scored 11 points and had 10 rebounds in the win. The Blazers won the rebounding battle 52-28 and outscored the Buccaneers 22-5 in second-chance points. 
Cincinnati fell to their most hated rival, the Xavier Musketeers in double overtime by a final score of 83-79 on Sunday night at the Cintas Center. There were some intense moments early on during the game, as both team’s benches cleared following a hard foul by one of the two teams on more than one occasion. Freshman Lance Stephenson led the way with 22 points and 6 rebounds for Cincinnati in the loss.
The Bearcats out shot the Musketeers by seven and out rebounded them by nine, but made just 10 of 22 free throw attempts while Xavier knocked down 28 of their 36 attempts to win the game.
The Cowboys rank 31st in the nation in scoring and second in the Mountain West with 80.3 points per game.
Bearcats vs. Blazers Odds
The Bearcats are presently a 1 pt favorite.
The Bearcats will look to bounce back from Sunday’s bitter loss and lick their wounds by ending the Blazers seven-game win streak. They will need to play very well and make good decisions with their shot selections, as well as winning the battles under the boards both offensively and defensively.

I like Cincinnati in this despite the Blazers current 8-1 record. UAB has yet to face a ranked opponent this season, as this will be their first. Bearcats by seven.
