Projection: need to automatically qualify

Eastern Kentucky's NCAA tournament chances hinge heavily on their inconsistent performance throughout the season. While they have secured impressive wins against teams like Lipscomb and ETSU, their frequent losses, particularly against higher-ranked opponents like Clemson and Louisville, and their inability to consistently build momentum, particularly in conference play, cast doubt on their overall strength. The vulnerability of their defense, ranked low nationally, creates a concern when facing more potent offenses. Upcoming games will be crucial; they must capitalize on opportunities against teams within their conference to improve their standing and bolster their resume. A strong finish to the season could enhance their chances significantly.
