Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bellarmine's season thus far paints a picture that's less than rosy. Their struggles are evident with losses to higher-ranked teams such as Kansas State and Washington, along with defeats from teams closer to their level such as Chattanooga and Morehead State, signaling inconsistencies. Even within their own conference, the Atlantic Sun, they've racked up losses against teams they needed to beat to bolster their resume, namely Lipscomb and Eastern Kentucky. Their defense seems to hold its ground better than the offense, which has underperformed, as seen in both metrics and scoring outputs. This leaves them in a position where winning the Atlantic Sun Tournament isn't just the best but indeed the only realistic shot to dance in March. The remainder of the regular season offers limited opportunities for statement wins, so the focus must pivot towards peaking at the right time to make an unlikely conference tournament run.
