Desde su temporada inaugural, los Blazers han hecho 15 apariciones en el Torneo de Baloncesto Masculino de la NCAA y 12 apariciones en el Torneo Nacional por Invitación . La UAB ha sido productiva en sus apariciones en torneos de la NCAA, alcanzando elElite Eight una vez y Sweet Sixteen 3 veces. ^[4] Después de 40 años de baloncesto, la UAB ha tenido 36 temporadas ganadoras, incluidas 24 temporadas con al menos 20 victorias. El porcentaje de victorias de la UAB ocupa el puesto 30 entre los programas de baloncesto de la División I de la NCAA con al menos 40 temporadas. El programa de baloncesto de la UAB ha presentado victorias en muchos de los programas más históricos del baloncesto, incluidos Kentucky , Carolina del Norte , Indiana , Louisville , Kansas , Arizona , Michigan State , Virginia , Villanova , Connecticut y muchos otros. ^[4]
