Analyzing the statistics, Alabama-Birmingham enters this matchup with an impressive offensive output, averaging 79.1 points per game. Their shooting percentage from the field is robust, sitting at 44.7 percent. Although their three-point shooting efficiency is low at 28.1 percent, their ability to generate points through driving to the basket (along with a notable 14.1 assists per game) suggests that they can consistently find ways to score. Conveying an aggressive rebounding strategy with a rate of 35.9 rebounds per game, they can leverage second-chance opportunities to enhance their scoring potential.

On the other hand, Rice is no stranger to competitive play, although they average 71.6 points per game with a lower field goal percentage of 41.1, indicating a struggle to convert opportunities efficiently. Their impressive 36.2 percent from deep suggests they can stretch defenses, which is a key factor in facilitating their offensive rhythm. Coupled with a decent 10.9 assists, they do possess the capacity to keep their scoring competitive. Expect Rice to put up a fight and cover the spread, while Alabama-Birmingham’s offense will lead to a game total surpassing expectations.
