Projection: likely out

UAB’s profile has flashes that a committee will notice but also blemishes that keep it on the wrong side of the bubble, because the résumé includes neutral-site wins over Southern Illinois and UTEP and a gritty road victory at South Florida plus road wins at Drake and Tulane that show the team can win away from home, yet those positives are offset by a lopsided defeat at NC State and a shocking home loss to Alabama State along with heavy setbacks to Tulsa and Wichita State that will be viewed as damaging losses; the remaining stretch offers routine chances to pad the ledger at UT San Antonio, Rice, Charlotte and East Carolina and the opportunity to change perceptions with road wins at North Texas or at Memphis, but without one of those signature road victories and with nonconference damage still on the résumé it is sensible to place UAB outside the comfortable tournament picture.
