This is correct. He was more or less meaning road games with a true road environment.

UAB and WKU are probably two of the most diverse and complete teams in the conference. Both teams have 4-5 guys who can score in double figures each night while Middle for example is relying on King (and Potts) at a rate that ranks top 10 nationally.

The best chance for UAB in this game is to be really efficient from behind the arc and hit 7 or more 3-pointers. Chris Cokley is going to be tested by JJ and Coleby for sure but against good front courts (Auburn, Iowa, Buffalo) he's scored more than 24 in each game. The Lee/Cokley and JJ/Coleby match up is very intriguing. Unfortunately Lee is hurt but is still contributing defensively.

My biggest worry is WKU getting hot from behind the arc. They have the best 3-point shooting team in the conference by percentage and they do not rely on it heavily like Marshall for example.

This is a very evenly matched game that is going to come down to the wire in my opinion.
