The UAB Blazers men's basketball team represents the University of Alabama at Birmingham in NCAA Division I men's college basketball. The Blazers compete as a member of the American Conference. The Blazers play home games at Bartow Arena in Birmingham, Alabama and are coached by Andy Kennedy. UAB has appeared 17 times in the NCAA tournament most recently in 2024.
The UAB Blazers started their athletics program with the creation of men's basketball in 1978. Setting high standards from the start, UAB was able to lure Gene Bartow away from his post as the head coach at UCLA to start the Blazer program. Known as the "Father of UAB athletics," Coach Bartow was able to guide the Blazers to early success by reaching the NCAA tournament in just their third season of existence. Since their inaugural season, the Blazers have made 17 appearances in the NCAA men's basketball tournament, and 13 appearances in the National Invitational Tournament. UAB has been productive in its NCAA tournament appearances, reaching the Elite Eight once, and the Sweet Sixteen 3 times. After 46 years of basketball, UAB has had 40 winning seasons, including 29 seasons with at least 20 wins.
