PLAY #1 UAB -1 vs Butler
The Blazers have broken out to an 10-1 start, including a 16-point victory at home over Georgia and a 17-point victory over then ranked #25 Cincy. This season’s team has just three returning letter-winning players, and although the Blazers lost a lot of experience, they gained some with two fifth-year senior transfers. Center Kenneth Cooper transferred from Louisiana Tech and guard George Drake came from Vanderbilt of the SEC. Coach Mike Davis has also gotten good production from 6-6 swingman and Louisiana-Lafayette transfer Elijah Millsap as he leads the Blazers in scoring (15.8 ppg) and rebounding (9.3). When the Blazers shoot the three well and share the ball they can play above expectations. Butler struggles defending the three as teams are hitting almost 37% this season from 3. I see a very back and forth game, lots of lead changes in the first half and a close game at the half as Butler is a very experienced and deep team. But with the Blazers using the home crowd advantage, I see them hitting a few threes in the second half to pull away and ice the game for the 7-10 point victory.
