Projection: likely out

UAB looks like a team on the outside because its resume is built from a handful of solid road and neutral-site victories such as wins at North Texas, Tulsa and Drake and a neutral win over UTEP, yet those bright spots are offset by damaging defeats including a heavy loss at NC State and ugly home setbacks to Wichita State, FAU and Memphis that expose defensive inconsistencies; the program also split with South Florida in a pair of wildly different outcomes that underline how volatile this squad can be. Remaining games at Memphis and at Temple along with home chances against Tulane and North Texas give UAB clear paths to improve its standing, but until it turns one of those opportunities into a signature road win and shores up the defense, the profile will look like a résumé with interesting pieces but not enough quality to force the committee’s hand.
