Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)
In sizing up UAB, you're looking at a classic case of Jekyll and Hyde—solid on the offensive end but sporting some serious defensive woes. They've racked up a decent number of wins, but they're weighed down by bad losses, like the unexpected stumbles against teams like Alcorn State and Southern Miss. However, UAB has proven capable of hanging tough with stiffer competition, as evidenced by their nail-biters against high-caliber opponents like Clemson and their redemption win against a strong FAU squad. Yet, those defensive issues are like a flashing hazard light, especially galling were the defeats to McNeese State and Rice; games where their defense essentially went missing. Their volatility makes them a tricky seed to pin down accurately, but the Blazers' victory over Memphis is an important feather in their cap and could be the kind of momentum-shifter that inspires more confidence in their ability to make noise come tournament time.
