NOTEBOOK: Harper expecting UAB rematch, hints at tweaks

Western Kentucky men's basketball coach Ray Harper wants another crack at UAB.

If the final week of the regular season plays out the way Harper expects, that rubber match could be coming down the road.

"Hopefully we will have the opportunity to play them again," Harper said Monday on his weekly radio show. "The brackets will all play out after Saturday, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least that we see them early in the tournament."

UAB already locked up the top seed in next week's Conference USA Tournament.

That means that Harper is projecting the Hilltoppers (14-15 overall, 6-10 Conference USA) as a possible No.
