RE: UAB to bid for 2015 C-USA Basketball Tournament
Would that mean that the BJCC would host the men's & Bartow the women's?

Birmingham has a multitude of arenas that could be used for practices and games - BJCC, Bartow, Samford, Miles, CrossPlex, for instances...

I would assume BJCC for all men's and Bartow for first 3 rounds of women's and then it too moves to BJCC.

I'm glad to hear UAB is at least making a run at this thing. Birmingham is a pretty decent location for the conference.(Charlotte, MTSU, WKU, La Tech, and USM are all in reasonable driving distance)

Why is Hattiesburg reporting this and not Drew?

Upon actually reading the article, it is a reporter saying UAB is expected to bid. There is no source or confirmation. All speculation.

Would be great for Birmingham and UAB, but I wouldn't mind Charlotte either...

I am betting we won't be bidding in 2015. I am guessing 2016. I like the idea of Biloxi in 2015 and we get it in 2016.

RE: UAB to bid for 2015 C-USA Basketball Tournament
Makes sense. It would make more sense to host the tournament in a year where UAB may come in as league favorites. Who's the third senior UAB loses after next season, Rideau? I like the Biloxi idea for next season

RE: UAB to bid for 2015 C-USA Basketball Tournament
I'm not sure we're going to be better in two years than we are next. We have yet to see any of these freshmen. We have knowns in Chad and CJ that will be seniors next year. I would assume that Watts, Madison, and Mehinti will continue to develop, and Brown will be a starter from the start of the year. That is 6 players with experience, and 3 of them will be upper class men. If Rideau can develop enough to become a three point specialist, that would be a little more experience. If we can get 10-15 effective minutes out of a couple of the freshmen, we would be 8-9 deep easy. I'm not saying we won't be better in 2 years, but right now, it's hard to say we have replacements as good as or better than Chad and CJ.

He was probably told, but asked to sit on it, then got scooped by another paper so had to post something. That's what I am infering from the contents and timing of his new AL.com story.

Why do we have to have high expectations of the team to host the tournament?

The reason is $$$$$.

Usually you have to guarantee a certain
minimum to the conference. If the host team
sucks - the attendance is bad

PS the NCAA and SEC often use high schools
For practice

RE: UAB to bid for 2015 C-USA Basketball Tournament
Back in the days, UAB would host the Sun Belt tournament which provided us a little extra boost to win the whole thing.

The more it works out here, the more likely they will want to bring it back here.
