Charleston Southern’s profile reads like a team that has flashed scoring punch but not the kind of signature victories that make a committee sit up, with an emphatic home offensive night against IUPUI and road wins at Citadel and East Carolina standing out while a heavy defeat at Virginia Tech and damaging setbacks at South Carolina and in neutral-site play against Lindenwood undercut that promise. The nonconference slate contains dangerous misses against midmajor and lower-tier opponents, and those blemishes carry weight because there aren’t sustained road or neutral victories over notable opponents to offset them. Conference play still offers a clear pathway to improve through home dates against familiar Big South foes and a pair of winnable matchups with Gardner Webb and Radford, but the remaining road assignments at Furman and Richmond and trips to league road venues like Winthrop and UNC Asheville are the kinds of tests that will either salvage the résumé or deepen the hole. In short, the team’s best moments show it can score in bunches and handle comparable opponents, its worst moments are badly damaging losses away from home and at neutral sites, and the upcoming stretch is a mix of resume builders and resume breakers that will determine whether the committee sees enough quality to move it into contention.
