UAB blew an 18-point lead in the first meeting in Denton, Tex., as North Texas guard Atin Wright nailed a 3-pointer at the buzzer in a 78-75 Mean Green win. North Texas made 10 of 18 from deep in the game. That is striking because over the past three games, the Mean Green are hitting 29.5 percent from deep (36.1 percent for the season). It will be a White Out in Birmingham, Ala. Look for Yaxel Lendeborg and the Blazers to even up the season series at home.
