Should SEC West winner get at-large bid over C-USA's No. 2 team?

Memphis Tiger Roburt Sallie puts the pressure on UAB's Elijah Millsap in Wednesday night's win over the Blazers. Why do the Tigers have UAB's number? (The Birmingham News / Mark Almond)UAB lost its ninth straight basketball game to Memphis on Wednesday night. Do the Blazers feel pressured by the name on Memphis' jersey, the talent in Memphis' jersey or both?

The Blazers' loss could put them in a serious hole for getting in the NCAA Tournament. Will C-USA finally get more than one bid? Should an SEC West team get an at-large bid ahead of a second C-USA team?

Birmingham News columnists Ray Melick and Kevin Scarbinsky and reporter Jon Solomon discuss these topics in this week's Birmingham News Sports podcast.
