Projection: need to automatically qualify

UAB’s profile is built on impressive road and neutral-site moments — wins at North Texas and at Memphis and a neutral victory over Southern Illinois show the team can win away from home — but those highlights are offset by damaging setbacks such as the trip to NC State, the home loss to Alabama State and home defeats to Tulane and Tulsa that leave its resume without a clear marquee scalp. The road and neutral successes are the program’s best moments because they demonstrate the ability to handle hostile environments while the bad losses are the worst because they undermine consistency and quality of wins in the eyes of a committee. With no unmistakable top-level victory in hand the clearest path to the NCAA field runs through the conference tournament where a run against familiar league opponents would earn the automatic berth.
