Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bellarmine’s resume is fraught with challenges that heavily impact its tournament prospects. The losses to notable opponents like VCU and Louisville highlight the gap in competition level, while close games against teams like Southern Indiana and Eastern Kentucky raise concerns about consistency. The inability to secure victories against teams in the 200-300 range in the rankings, compounded by a weak overall strength of schedule, makes it clear that Bellarmine needs to either dominate their conference play or hope for an automatic bid through a conference tournament championship. Upcoming matchups against teams like Jacksonville and Lipscomb will be critical; winning these would provide valuable momentum, but another stretch of losses could seal their fate for another season without tournament action.
