••• GETTING THE JOB DONE! •••
------------------------------------------
On Wednesday night we’re treated to a textbook battle between offense and defense. Duke heads into the game averaging 89.3 points per game, which puts them second in the country, while the Blazers are giving up only 58.6 points per contest. Despite the big number here, UAB has proven to be a good bet early this season in most situations, sitting 9-2 against the spread overall while going 9-1-1 ATS in the club’s last 11 road games. The hot start probably came as a surprise to bettors after the club lost four players from the 25-win team from last year, but the Blazers are getting it done anyway.
Coach Mike Davis attributes UAB’s success to changing to an offense that utilizes screens more and is committed to sharing the ball. "This year, the majority of our offense comes off screens," Davis told reporters. "I called a lot of my coaching friends and asked them what was the toughest screen to defend. They all had different answers. So I just tried to incorporate as many as possible in our offense." They coming off a huge 79-44 win at home to George Washington, covering easily as 12.5-point favorites and should stay within this number if they can get out to a quick start.

*** SAN DIEGO ST @ TCU ***
Tip-off: Wednesday, 7:30 p.m. EDT
Line: San Diego State -8.5, Total: 136
---------------------------------------------
GAME BREAKDOWN: San Diego State will look to extend the best start in school history when it opens Mountain West Conference play at TCU on Wednesday night. The Aztecs are 15-0 after beating Division III school Occidental, 93-50, last Friday for their most lopsided victory of the season. SDSU, third in the nation with a 51.0% FG Pct., shot a season-best 61.0% and outrebounded the Tigers, 42-13. Eight of San Diego State's 15 wins have come away from home, including a 79-76 triumph at Gonzaga on Nov. 16. The Aztecs went 4-4 on the road in the MWC last season.
They're led by Kawhi Leonard, who scores 15.7 PPG and pulls down 9.6 RPG. Leonard has scored in double-figures in 13 of 15 games and has nine double-doubles on the season. Billy White (10.5 PPG) averaged a team-high 16.5 points in two wins over TCU last season. He did not play against Occidental because of a sprained ankle, but should be in the lineup against the Horned Frogs.
TCU's leading scorer Ronnie Moss (15.3 PPG) is questionable for Wednesday after suffering a concussion in a 69-66 loss to Tulsa last Thursday. The Horned Frogs are coming off a 70-61 loss at Rice on Sunday without Moss. Hank Thorns (9.4 PPG, 5.7 APG) picked up the scoring in Moss' absence with a career-best 18 points and eight assists against the Owls. Garlon Green, who ranks second on TCU in scoring (11.9 PPG, 51.3% three-pointers), had 11 points versus Rice, but shot only 4-of-11 from the field.
Last season, San Diego State posted a 68-51 victory at Fort Worth on Feb. 16. Leonard had 18 points and White added 17 for the Aztecs, while Moss scored 15 for the Horned Frogs. TCU is 7-1 at home this season, but its history hasn't been good versus San Diego State. The Horned Frogs have lost nine out of the last 10 meetings, including four straight. SDSU leads the series 9-4, and its only loss at TCU came on Feb. 9, 2008, 68-62. Look for the Aztecs to continue its undefeated season with another win over the Horned Frogs on Wednesday.

*** BYU @ UNLV ***
Tip-off: Wednesday, 10:00 p.m. EDT
Line: UNLV -3.5, Total: 145
---------------------------------------------
GAME BREAKDOWN: BYU hopes to end an eight-game losing streak at UNLV when it visits the Runnin' Rebels on Wednesday night in the MWC opener for both teams. The Cougars have lost the last eight games at the Thomas & Mack Center, dating back to 2005, and that includes three setbacks in the conference tournament. The Rebels are 16-7 ATS versus BYU, including 9-3 ATS at home since 2001.
BYU ranks ninth in the nation in offense (83.9 PPG) and are led by the explosive Jimmer Fredette, who scores 24.1 PPG and shoots 37.5% from long range. Fredette has scored in double-digits in every game this season and had 13 points in 22 minutes against Fresno Pacific on Saturday, a 93-57 BYU rout. But he hasn't lived up to his own lofty standards versus UNLV, as he's been limited to 14.9 PPG on 35.6% shooting in eight career meetings with the Rebels. Jackson Emery is second on the Cougars in scoring with 11.8 PPG, while Brandon Davies chips in with 10.9 PPG and 5.2 RPG. BYU's only loss this season came against UCLA, 86-79, on Dec. 18 at the Wooden Classic, but since that setback, it has won four straight games.
Meanwhile, UNLV has rebounded from consecutive losses at Louisville, 77-69, and at home to UC Santa Barbara, 68-62, with three straight victories, including a 63-59 win over Kansas State on Dec. 21. Chace Stanback leads the Runnin' Rebels in scoring with 12.5 PPG, but he's struggled with his shot recently. Stanback is 14-for-44 (31.8%) from the field in his past five games and has failed to score in double-figures in three consecutive games and four of the last five. Oscar Bellfield averages 11.6 PPG and 4.3 APG, while Tre'Von Willis scores 11.3 PPG and has hit double-digits in scoring in six of his past seven games. He also likes to face BYU, as he's averaged 19.6 PPG in five career meetings against the Cougars.
Last season, the two teams met three times with UNLV holding a 2-1 advantage. The Cougars won at home, 77-73 on Jan. 6, but they lost the rematch in Vegas, 88-74, on Feb. 6, thanks to Willis' 33 points. BYU also dropped a 70-66 decision to the Runnin' Rebels in the MWC semifinals, despite Fredette's 30 points.
UNLV has held eight of its 14 opponents below 60 points, but that won't be an easy task against BYU's high-scoring offense, which has not been held under 72 points all season. The Cougars have dropped seven straight to Top 25 teams. Their last win over a ranked squad came in a 78-76 victory over then-No. 6 Louisville on Nov. 23, 2007. BYU last won at UNLV on Feb. 5, 2005, when it claimed an 82-72 overtime victory. But the Rebels don't lose at home very often. UNLV is 35-5 at home in regular-season conference games since the 2005-06 season. The home-court edge should make the difference on Wednesday night versus BYU.
