This feels like a smash spot for the Blazers, who are coming off an upset loss at Old Dominion. They're 14-1 at home, including 6-0 in C-USA home games with an average margin of victory of 20.5. Tonight UAB looks to avenge a five-point loss at Rice on Jan. 8. In that game, Owls starting guard Quincy Olivari played 38 minutes and had 10 points, six rebounds and three assists. But Olivari broke his wrist late in the second half of a Feb. 5 loss to UTEP and is out for the season. In their next conference game, the Owls were destroyed 67-44 by North Texas. Rice also struggled earlier this season when Olivari was hindered by a wrist injury. Lay the points.
