Projection: need to automatically qualify
Charlotte’s profile looks like a team that has shown flashes but not enough sustained quality to earn an at-large berth, with a marquee home win over Wichita State and a true road victory at Temple offset by damaging setbacks to Utah State at home and a drubbing at Memphis plus nonconference slips to Virginia Tech and Davidson that expose inconsistency. The offense can explode in the right game and produced their best moments, but defensive lapses in bad spots have turned winnable contests into harmful losses and left their resume light on signature road and neutral-site triumphs. The remaining schedule offers some manageable games against UT San Antonio and East Carolina but also critical road tests at Tulsa, at Florida Atlantic and at South Florida that represent the only realistic way to change the committee’s view, so the clearest path to the NCAA tournament is winning the conference title.
