Projection: need to automatically qualify

East Carolina's current resume features a mixed bag of results, including some decent wins against teams like George Mason and a narrow victory over Temple, but the losses against teams like UNC Wilmington and South Carolina raise concerns about their consistency and ability to compete. Given that their offensive rankings are notably low, they struggle to score against stronger defenses, as evidenced by their failures against higher-ranked opponents like Memphis and North Texas. The path ahead includes critical games where they can bolster their standing, especially matchups against UAB and Rice, which are pivotal for improving their tournament chances. However, they must avoid underwhelming performances, particularly in games against weaker opponents like Charlotte and UT San Antonio, where slip-ups could further damage their hopes.
