UAB (12-2, 3-0) at Florida Atlantic (12-1, 2-0) – 7:00 PM ET (ESPN+)

Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day is a featured Conference USA matchup between the UAB Blazers and the Florida Atlantic Owls. UAB came into the season with expectations of winning the conference and have won their first 3 games in C-USA on their home court against Charlotte, UTEP and UT-San Antonio. This week is their first road trip in conference play and they get their toughest road game right out of the bat. Jordan Walker leads the Blazers with an incredible 25.2 points a game.

The Owls’ winning streak has now reached 11 games and are coming off of a grinding 50-46 victory at North Texas last week. Against the Mean Green, Vladislav Goldin had 11 points and 13 rebounds to give FAU a resume-boosting victory. Tonight’s game is the beginning of a 5-game stretch that includes games against Charlotte, North Texas and a road trip to Western Kentucky.
