Projection: need to automatically qualify

East Carolina faces a significant challenge in securing a spot in the NCAA tournament, primarily due to its mixed record and lackluster overall rankings. While they have managed to capture wins against teams like George Mason, their defeats against Jacksonville State and UNC Wilmington raise concerns about consistency and performance against higher-level competition. Upcoming games against teams like Florida Atlantic and Memphis will be crucial; wins in those matchups could bolster their resume considerably. Conversely, struggling against lower-ranked opponents could severely damage their chances, making every game an important opportunity to improve their standing or risk falling further behind. Consistent performances and impactful victories over ranked rivals will be essential for East Carolina's tournament aspirations.
