Men’s Hoops: Aztecs face UAB in NCAA first round
The Aztecs are the 5-seed for the second time in program history after reaching the National Championship game last year on that seed line.
The other thing I noticed about the bracket is three of the teams from last year’s Final Four are all in there — UConn, Florida Atlantic and San Diego State — all in the same bracket. So that’s a little ironic but it’s fun to look at,” Dutcher told reporters during a Selection Sunday watch party.
UAB (23-11) earned the American Athletic Conference’s automatic bid for the NCAA tournament by beating Temple, 85-69, on Sunday. The Blazers have won their last five games on the way to the conference tournament title.
