Then we'll just have to win the damn tourney and be the only team in the state that goes dancing.

That's fine, and a solid accomplishment. We will be jealous of it I assure you. But the idea that because UAB has 24 wins, 15 of them 200 RPI+ and 21 of them 100 RPI+, they are clearly superior to most of the SEC is..........silly.

UAB's best wins are :
@ #105 Illinois State (17-13)
vs #99 MTSU (18-9)
@ #109 Louisiana Tech (21-7)
@ #99 MTSU (18-9)

They have played 3 non-NCAAT Power 5 teams : #154 Auburn (11-18), #157 Illinois (13-17) and #96 Virginia Tech (17-13). They went 0-3.

Alabama is 5-0 vs 201+ RPI teams
UAB is 15-0 vs 201+ RPI teams

Alabama is 3-6 vs the RPI Top 50
UAB is 0-0 vs the RPI Top 50


UAB, Stephen F Austin, Hawaii, Grand Canyon are all scary teams in the NCAAT because they all know how to win. They also could get beaten by 30 in the 1st game. We don't know, because they haven't played any Top 10 seed quality teams all season.
