Projection: need to automatically qualify

Coastal Carolina's path to the NCAA tournament hinges significantly on their performance in the Sun Belt and the weakness of their non-conference schedule. The team has struggled against stronger opponents, evident in their losses to NC State and Jacksonville State, showcasing a vulnerability on both ends of the court, particularly in their defensive efforts. Their victory against teams like Western Michigan and the win over Alabama A&M signal potential, but the need for consistency is critical. Upcoming matchups against Louisiana and ULM provide opportunities to bolster their resume, but the daunting task of defeating higher-ranked teams like South Alabama and James Madison will be crucial if they want to position themselves favorably, either through automatic qualification or a potential upset in the conference tournament.
