Projection: need to automatically qualify

Coastal Carolina faces an uphill battle in their quest for an NCAA tournament spot, especially with such a shaky start to the season. Their performance against Western Michigan, though a win, was marginal, and a close loss to East Carolina and a more significant setback against NC State demonstrate that they struggle against stronger competition. A solid victory over Jacksonville State may offer a glimmer of hope, but the road ahead is tough. The upcoming matchups against teams like Louisiana and Appalachian State will be pivotal; winning those games not only improves their standings but boosts confidence and momentum within the Sun Belt. To mitigate their current weaknesses, a stronger offensive showing will be crucial, and they must capitalize on their chances against lower-ranked opponents like Alabama A&M and IUPUI to solidify their resume.
