Projection: need to automatically qualify
Elon’s season has shown that while they have the ability to pick up some wins, their overall performance doesn't scream "Tournament ready" as of now. The team's record against higher-ranked opponents like Wake Forest, UNC Greensboro, South Carolina, and UNC Wilmington hints at struggles when facing stiffer competition, which is a red flag when projecting possible tournament success. Additionally, losses to teams like Campbell and Northeastern, who aren’t particularly dominant in the college basketball landscape, raise questions about their consistency. Despite victories against lower-ranked teams like IUPUI and Holy Cross, the team’s challenges on both ends of the court are apparent, with several setbacks highlighting a defense that seems to falter against teams with stronger offensive lineups. For Elon to be seen as a serious tournament contender, they'd need to secure an automatic bid by winning their conference tournament, as their current resume lacks the impactful wins and consistency to secure an at-large bid.
