In Birmingham with only 8,500 seating capacity with return game in Morgantown next season. Bob Huggins is doing a favor for UAB coach Andy Kennedy, Huggs’ assistant during Bob’s Cincinnati tenure.

UAB made March Madness Sweet Sixteen ONCE in THIRTY SEVEN YEARS! WVU has been in Sweet Sixteen 3 times in PAST SIX YEARS!

UAB is good team. Don't let your homer attitude cloud your vision. Capable of beating anyone.

UAB isn't too shabby, and has to be favored at home. WVU has been winning, but not convincingly thus far. Will have to play much better than they have lately, in order to beat UAB at their place. Home court advantage is significant in hoops, whether there's 2,000 fans in the stands or 15,000.

This is why I'd fully expect WVU to win in a blowout against Alabama (Crimson, but UAB). Over the last six years, WVU has made more Sweet 16s. The outcome is pretty much carved in stone.

It's also why WVU wouldn't stand much of a chance against Loyola-Chicago. It's had more Final Fours over the last five years.
