Game preview & prediction

UAB hosts Florida International on 17 November 2026 in the NCAA, and the Pythia model names UAB the clear favourite, assigning it an 82% chance of victory largely because the Blazers have a 2-1 record, averaging 80.0 points scored and allowing 75.3, and they are 185th in the league, while FIU is undefeated at 2-0, averaging 93.0 points and conceding 66.5, yet FIU sits only 39th. UAB has won both of its home games, posting a 2-0 home record with 81.0 points per game and 63.5 points allowed, and its last five games include two wins and one loss, notably a 92-64 triumph over Florida A&M and a 70-63 win over Nicholls State, though it fell 78-99 to McNeese State on the road. FIU's last five games mirror that pattern with three wins and two losses, highlighted by an 85-75 victory over West Florida Argonauts and a 101-58 rout of New College (FL), but a 72-75 loss to Missouri State. Their head-to-head history is even, 1-1, with UAB's most recent win 76-72 in February 2023.

Written by Pythia from this game's frozen forecast, the market's main lines and both teams' results.
