The Duke's Sports
Southern Mississippi (-4') for 2.5 Units
Southern Miss has covered 4 of the last 5 in this series, including 75-71 win in February at UAB. Sure, the Blazers are out for revenge but a soft 2-7-1 ATS mark against a team with a winning % above .600 doesn't justify moving on them. And UAB doesn't necessarily blaze in mid-week basketball at 5-12-1 ATS on Wednesdays. Moreover, this is a huge opportunity for SM to take over Conference USA's #1 spot from UAB and we'll look for them to capitalize on it. SM, which is coming off a last second loss @ UCF sports a solid 9-3 ATS mark off a SU loss and controls a sweet 20-8 ATS mark as a home favorite in this spread range. Need Flowers to get back on his game and should do it in this spot with a favorable matchup. SM the call.
