As much as we bitch about UAB's advantage, didn't help them that much last year.
Nick Norton played less than a half in the first game of the year before going down with a season ending injury.
They may have the best frontcourt and worst backcourt in the league.
They have tried to patchwork it but have been truly horrendous lately. Things can obviously change, but the trend has been decidedly bad, losing 5 of their last 6 with 4 of the losses being blowouts. Throw in a first year coach... it surely doesn't look like their year. Even so, I understand the concerns about their homecourt advantage.
A win tonight would clinch at least a 2 seed for us.

Tech has clinched at worst the 2 seed. The 1 seed is still possible if Tech wins out and MTSU loses out.
