Projection: need to automatically qualify

Charlotteā€™s season reads like a resume that can be celebrated in parts but still leaves the committee wanting more, with signature moments such as the neutral-site win over UAB and the home victory against Wichita State and a gritty road success at Temple, but also damaging setbacks including a heavy loss to Utah State and road blowouts at Virginia Tech, Memphis and South Florida plus nonconference defeats at Illinois State and Richmond. Those positive results show the team can beat quality league foes, yet most of the best wins came at home or neutral sites while the worst losses came away from its arena, so the overall profile lacks the consistent, high-end road and neutral victories that attract at-large consideration. Given the mix of solid league scalps and troubling losses, Charlotteā€™s most realistic route to the NCAA tournament is to secure the automatic berth by winning the American Athletic Conference tournament.
