Projection: need to automatically qualify

Belmont's chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge largely on their performance in conference play and their ability to secure the automatic bid. While they have a respectable offense that has produced some impressive outbursts, as seen in their close win against Lipscomb and the high-scoring game against Oral Roberts, their defense remains a serious concern, ranking poorly within their peers. Losses to teams like Furman and UC Irvine illustrate the vulnerabilities they must address quickly. Upcoming matchups against Northern Iowa and Drake are pivotal; winning these could bolster their resume and build momentum. However, any slip-ups in games against lower-ranked opponents could jeopardize their standing, making each game critical as they strive for both conference supremacy and a shot at the NCAA tournament.
