Projection: need to automatically qualify

Citadel's season presents a challenging case for tournament consideration. With numerous losses against teams like Boston College and Vanderbilt, their overall strength of schedule coupled with a low defensive ranking puts them firmly on the outside looking in. The upcoming matchups against teams like Wofford and UNC Greensboro are crucial; winning these could provide a glimmer of hope, especially given their relatively low rankings, but consistent struggling against tougher opponents makes an at-large bid unlikely. Their only viable path is to clinch the automatic qualifier through the Southern Conference tournament, where performance against better-ranked teams like Samford and Furman will be critical to their hopes.
