Projection: need to automatically qualify
Eastern Kentucky's resume suggests a tough path to the NCAA tournament without winning the Atlantic Sun Conference. They secured a notable win against ETSU, showcasing potential, but their overall performance against stronger competition has been lacking, particularly in losses to teams like Clemson and Pittsburgh. Their offense has shown flashes of competence in victories, but the defense is a significant concern, reflected in high-scoring losses like the one to Jacksonville State. Future games against better-ranked opponents, such as the matchup with Louisville, could provide an opportunity to boost their profile if they can pull off an upset. However, consistency is key, and victories against mid-tier conference foes will be necessary to have any chance at an at-large bid.
