•Something to talk about: The upset win was a particular point of pride for the UAB community in the wake of the school’s controversial decision this fall to drop football. A couple of fans in the small but boisterous Blazers cheering section held signs that read “Fire Ray Watts,” in reference to the school’s president (who was in attendance). The UAB basketball team now carries the weight of representing the university on the national sports stage. “It was important for us just to give the city something to cheer for,” Brown said on Wednesday. “They were down about football, and it’s something we kind of talked about.”
