Iowa St was ranked #9 in the country.

RE: MB, last time UAB beat a ranked Top 10 team?
I was wondering if UAB has ever beaten an opponent in the NCAA when there is such a margin in seeding. Iowa State was seeded 11 seeds ahead of us. The win over Iowa State is big for lots of reasons, but I don't think most would put it in the same league as our win over UK in 2004. But from a seeding standpoint, this might be the biggest "upset" that UAB has pulled.

Of all the upsets today, ours had the biggest point spread coming into the game.

I was wondering where we thought this game stood on the list of our all time best wins. I know its not number 1, but surely it has to be near the top.

UAB vs. Alabama, our Great Alaska Shootout victories and other big top 10 wins got ranked high as well. Since this is our 10th win in the NCAA, I would say this win is probably Top 15. It may move up, depending on how deep they go in the tournament. In my opinion.
I tend to agree with that. Thanks for the list as well.

For some of the younger fans like me, this past two weeks has been the high point of UAB basketball. I started following UAB basketball around 2006 and was there for that Memphis win. This is the most excited I've been about UAB basketball since then. I'm looking forward to what this team can do over the next several year.
