Projection: need to automatically qualify

Appalachian State's chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge on their ability to secure strong wins in the Sun Belt Conference, as their overall resume is lacking depth and quality. Their stunning losses to teams like Miami Ohio and Wisconsin highlight significant challenges, particularly when facing higher-tier opponents, which raises concerns about their competitiveness. The upcoming games against Troy and Texas State will be critical, as victories in those matchups could bolster their standing and demonstrate their capability against comparable rivals. Furthermore, securing wins against teams like Coastal Carolina and Georgia State, especially given their potential for better performance in conference play, will be essential to enhance their tournament credentials and potentially bypass the automatic qualification route.
