STUDENT TICKET INFO: On Tuesday, 3/23/10, come to Bartow Arena starting at 8 AM to pre-swipe your student ID and get a number and a wristband. You can come anytime during the morning or afternoon, but demand for this game will be high, so coming earlier is always better than coming later. This set up is virtually the exact same as the one we did a few weeks ago for the Memphis game, so keep that in mind.

The Birmingham News is reporting that UAB coaching legend Gene Bartow is scheduled to be treated for stomach cancer at the Kirklin Clinic tomorrow.

The 78-year-old Bartow left UCLA after the 1977 season for a start-up, Division I basketball program on the Southside. His first team went 15-11 and his second team made it to the NIT. By the third year he had the Blazers in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament and in the fourth year UAB played for a Final Four berth. 

Bartow Arena, where UAB plays home games, is named after the man who coached for 13 seasons and served as the school’s longtime athletics director.

We wish Gene and his family all the best during his treatment.
