Projection: need to automatically qualify

Eastern Kentucky faces a challenging road ahead if they hope to make the NCAA tournament; their mixed bag of results highlights key issues. While they have secured wins against teams like Lipscomb and FGCU, which suggests potential, their inability to consistently beat higher-ranked teams, such as their losses to Clemson and Pittsburgh, raises concerns. Their defense is particularly troubling, regularly yielding points to opponents, as shown in their losses to Jacksonville State and North Alabama. To bolster their chances, they must finish the season strong, especially in critical matchups against Jacksonville and North Florida; victories in these games are essential to enhance their resume and boost their standing within the Atlantic Sun.
