Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)
UAB's current resume presents a challenge for a solid NCAA tournament bid, with an overall record of 1-1 and mixed results against various opponents. The team struggled against Vermont and High Point, both losses highlighting offensive inconsistencies, while their win over Southern Miss is more of an outlier than an indicator of strength. The upcoming schedule is crucial, with opportunities against teams like North Texas and Florida Atlantic, whose strong rankings could provide an opportunity for signature wins. However, the team's defense remains a concern, ranking poorly and potentially hindering their ability to secure necessary victories. To improve their standing, UAB must consistently win games, particularly against better-ranked opponents, while addressing their defensive lapses.
