NCAA Bubble: Will UAB Make the Big Dance?
2/28/08

In a few days the month of February will mercifully come to an end and we can finally start to enjoy sports again with March Madness on the horizon. Over the final three weeks of the college basketball season we'll be sizing up those teams on the infamous bubble and let you determine who should be in or out.Up Next: UAB Blazers
Why they could get in
Overall Record: 20-8 - 20 win plateau is always helpful
Good Wins: Searching ... searching ... OK, I suppose this counts 101-99 vs Houston, and 79-76 at Kentucky. Not exactly breathtaking, but if it were to come down to the Cougars and Blazers for the final spot that win would help.
C-USA: 2nd place - With Memphis as a likely #1, there's going to be a second team in the dance most likely. UAB and Houston aren't impressive, but this is probably the best thing going for Mike Davis' Blazers.
5-3 vs Top 100: Most of the wins are closer to 100 than 50, but still a positive stat in their favor.
8-2 in Last 10: Losses to Southern Miss and Marshall in last 11 don't help, but when looking strictly at the resume you know committee members view this favorably regardless of who they played.
Why they would be left out
Key Losses: 57-59 vs Georgia Southern, 58-68 at South Florida, 52-61 at Wichita St., 57-62 at Marshall, 85-93 at Southern Miss. Ouch all around.
RPI: 56
Strength of Schedule: 111
Conclusion
I just can't see it. Joe Lunardi has UAB as the last team in right now, but this is far from an impressive resume. However, should the Blazers shock Memphis to end the regular season that would be hard for the committee to ignore. Out now, but they'll have one, likely two more chances to beat the Tigers.
