Projection: need to automatically qualify

Chattanooga's path to the NCAA tournament is steep, given its lackluster performance against quality opponents and a defense that struggles significantly. Losses to USC and St. Mary's highlight its challenges against higher-tier teams, while a narrow defeat against UNC Greensboro indicates potential but also inconsistency. To earn an automatic qualifier, the team must secure victories against Southern Conference rivals like Wofford and Furman, both critical matchups that could boost their standing, especially with Wofford's recent ranking. Furthermore, winning these games would not only provide confidence but also significantly strengthen their resume heading into postseason play.
