Projection: need to automatically qualify

Appalachian State's tournament outlook hinges on their brutal non-conference schedule and uneven performance in the Sun Belt. With notable losses against teams like Wisconsin and Miami OH, their strength of schedule hasn't bolstered their case. Their victories over mid-tier opponents like Texas State and Old Dominion help but won't be enough without a strong finish. Upcoming games, especially against James Madison and Old Dominion, present critical opportunities to enhance their standing or further weaken their position. Consistent wins against lower-ranked teams like Coastal Carolina or Georgia State are essential, as dropping those matches would severely compromise their chances of earning a spot in the tournament.
