Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)

UAB's resume presents significant challenges for their NCAA tournament hopes, primarily due to a lack of quality wins and an underwhelming performance against tough opponents. The losses to teams like Vermont and MTSU, both of which are not projected for the tournament, highlight struggles against average competition, while their victories against lower-tier teams such as Alcorn State and Prairie View are unlikely to impress selectors. Additionally, their defensive rankings raise concerns, as they have struggled to contain opposing offenses, evident in high-scoring games like the shootouts against Arkansas State and Louisiana. The upcoming games against North Texas and Memphis will be crucial; winning those could provide a much-needed boost, but losses could further diminish their chances, solidifying the need for a conference tournament title to secure a place in the bracket.
