Projection: need to automatically qualify

Delaware State finds itself in a tough spot as they look to punch their ticket to the Big Dance. Their overall record isn't turning any heads, and the losses to Penn State, Texas, and Wake Forest show that they've struggled to stand tall against more robust competition. Victories against Grambling and a nice streak in conference tournament play demonstrated some resilience, but the constant flip-flopping with in-conference rivals like Norfolk State, Howard, and NC Central reveal an inconsistency that could plague them in a survive-and-advance scenario. With the lack of statement wins and several losses to teams with weaker profiles, their path to the NCAA tournament likely hinges on securing the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference's automatic bid by clinching the conference tournament championship. Anything short of that, and their season probably ends without a dance invitation.
