The Tulane game is big. It's a game we need to win to improve our seeding in the conference tournament. Winning this game is also important if we are going to avoid a losing record overall and in conference.

If we win at Tulane and then win both home games (not easy, but definitely doable), we will guarantee a non-losing season both in conference and overall.

Yep. Given how the remaining teams' schedules play out, we will likely get the 5 seed (and a rematch with Lebo in the quarterfinals) if we finish 8-8.

A bye would be nice, but I can see a scenario where we may need the 6 seed to get an extra win and avoid a losing season.

Tulane is no pushover. They're flirting with a 20 win season.

Tulane is on the rise, but its win total is inflated by a soft schedule. WarrenNolan.com ranks Tulane's SOS at 239, while UAB's SOS is 115. I think we would have a similar record as Tulane if we swapped schedules. Like UAB, Tulane only has one win against a Top 100 RPI team (@Alabama, ).

Regardless, Tulane has only lost twice at home, to UCF and UTEP. Getting out of Fogelman with a win won't be easy.

Did I miss the "3-Points" after Saturday's game? is Drew combining game follow-ups and pre-game coverage now?

I literally have nothing better to complain about..

He is stretched pretty thin, covering every sport in the state that is not named Alabama or Auburn

I think for all he has to do he is doing a very good job. UAB still gets better coverage and we are getting more written about us since Wayne Martin was at the Post. Now it's all on line and not print but it is still more than we have received in years. Better get used to it. The papers will be gone shortly any way.

I personally love Drew's coverage. That's why I want more! Glad we have him!

Drew only does the three points thing on games he attends in person per Drew
