HUNTSVILLE | After winning the Gulf South Conference's automatic berth, it wasn't a question of if The University of Alabama in Huntsville men's basketball team would make the field of 64 in the NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Tournament but rather what would the team's seed be, and the Chargers found out Sunday night they will be the No. 7 seed in the South Regional which commences next Saturday.
 
UAH will take on the No. 2 seed Barry at the site of the regional host Nova Southeastern in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
 
Further information including game times will be released as it is available. 
 
This will be UAH's 14th overall trip to the NCAA tournament, 10th since 2010, and fourth straight. UAH is 14-12 overall in the event with six regional final appearances and a pair of Elite Eight Berths, and this will mark the third meeting with the Buccaneers, making Barry the program's second-most played opponent behind Rollins who the team has met four different times.
 
UAH fell to Barry 87-83 in the regional final in 2016 before earning some revenge a year later with a 96-82 victory in the semifinals.
 
In the top half of the bracket, top-seeded Nova Southeastern will face the No. 8 seed Savannah State, while fourth-seeded Union is set to take on fifth-seeded Miles.
 
The winner of the UAH/Barry contest will play the winner of No. 3 seed Embry-Riddle and No. 6 seed West Alabama.
