UAB's record is 25-6 , Troy's is 22-8. Why aren't we hosting this game??

WNIT is pay to play, so it may have cost more to host
Where is Sally Struthers when we need her?
"For only $.25 a day, you can help the starving UAB athletic program afford the basic necessities of life, like post-season pay to play tournaments. Without your immediate help, Coach Eshan and Coach Norton will be forced to do all recruiting within one tank of gas from Birmingham, in a '98 Dodge Caravan."

RE: WNIT: Ladies play at Troy Thursday
Is your women's team built more on defense or offense? This should be a pretty good game.
Troy is #1 in the nation in rebounds per game, averaging 51 rebounds each game. Next closest team is #1 Baylor, who averages 47 per game. Troy is also #16 in forcing turnovers.
Troy had a player named Sky'Lynn Holmes that was #2 in the nation in individual rebounds per game, but we lost her to a season-ending injury about a month ago during the Texas State game.
You guys may remember how Troy plays from previous years, but it's very up-tempo and fast. Sometimes too fast to where we turn the ball over or take bad shots. If UAB has a good, big-bodied post player, it could give Troy some trouble.

I don’t have any idea about Troy, but if you look at UABs performance against teams with a winning record, it’s not very impressive

I wonder if teams know their match up before they have to decide? We may have made the calculation that the men and women would likely win their first games so we decided to save the $ for a better opponent at home.
Is this thing seeded?
