Yeah, I'm thinking that playing the likes of Wisconsin really helped a lot. I'm hoping that Iowa State is looking over UAB and will be caught off guard.

RE: 14-seed UAB vs 3-seed Iowa State
Kentucky's game is in Louisville too, so we better get tickets from our allotment ASAP. As for the draw, I think we got the best 3 seed, which means we were likely seeded as the weakest 14 (which is fair).

14-seed UAB vs 3-seed Iowa State
****! Iowa state is tough. I would rather play Kansas. But we have to win the rebounding battle and the TO battle to have a shot.

RE: 14-seed UAB vs 3-seed Iowa State
They did lose at Texas Tech by five points. That was probably their worst loss of the season. They went 25-8 overall, and 12-6 in the Big 12.
However, they just beat Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas in the Big-12 Conf. Tourney.
They currently have a five-game winning streak.

RE: 14-seed UAB vs 3-seed Iowa State
One thing UAB's players must keep up is intensity of play. If we take a "swoon" for 5 minutes - as we have in some games -, we may be in the parking lot when we awaken.

It's been a while since this Blazer team has been blown out. And quite frankly I think we are a much different and better team since some of those blowouts.
A loss wouldn't shock me, but I think we have a shot. And I don't expect us to get blown out. I do not think Iowa State will take us particularly seriously.

Glad we got the 14 seed. Gives us a decent chance to win. 5 of the 40 14 vs 3 games in the past 10 years have resulted in an upset. We got this .

I think we have a shot and got a break on the location so we'll actually have some fans there. Based off this past week, we are playing our best basketball of the year right now.

Isn't there a fan on this message board is both a UAB fan and Iowa State fan?
