Projection: need to automatically qualify
Citadel has had a tough season, and their NCAA tournament hopes are hanging by a thread - they need an automatic bid by winning their conference tournament to dance in March. The Bulldogs' inability to secure wins against notable teams like NC State, Boston College, and Col Charleston casts a long shadow over their resume. Sure, they celebrated a surprise triumph over Notre Dame, but one big win doesn't offset a series of close losses against teams like Wofford, UNC Greensboro, and Western Carolina, which could have strengthened their case. Consistency is key, and for Citadel, playing in a mid-major conference means every lost opportunity against higher-ranked opponents stings just a bit more, leaving them with the challenging task of making a run during their conference tournament for any shot at the big dance.
