Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bellarmine's path to the NCAA tournament is steep, primarily due to a frustratingly weak resume marked by numerous losses to lower-ranked opponents and a lack of quality wins. For example, falling to Southern Indiana and VMI, neither of whom are strong contenders this season, significantly undermines their standing. Additionally, the team's struggles against formidable opponents like Louisville and VCU highlight their challenges in competing at a higher level. With upcoming matches that offer slim chances for victory—such as against Lipscomb and Jacksonville—the Knights will need to pull off some upsets to boost their profile. Their best shot remains through automatic qualification by performing well in the Atlantic Sun tournament, as non-conference performances thus far won’t likely sway selection committee decisions.
