Projection: need to automatically qualify

Chattanooga's NCAA tournament prospects are, quite frankly, on a razor's edge — they're the definition of a bubble team that needs to take their fate into their own hands. The Mocs have shown they can hang with solid competition, with impressive wins against teams like Furman, which has been a force in the Southern Conference, and a close bout in the Southern Conference tournament final. However, losses to teams like Citadel and Wofford during the regular season suggest inconsistency. Their performance against high-level opponents like Auburn demonstrate the gap between them and the top-tier teams. A non-conference schedule that doesn't include many notable victories also doesn't do them any favors. Winning the Southern Conference Tournament is almost a must for them to dance in March — they need to seal their automatic bid, as their at-large resume might not be hefty enough to sway the selection committee.
