Projection: need to automatically qualify
FGCU's early season struggles, including losses to teams like UNC Greensboro and TCU, highlight their significant challenges. Their offense, ranking poorly in efficiency, failed to find its rhythm, particularly evident in the low-scoring defeat against TCU where they managed only 51 points. This puts tremendous pressure on their defense, which has shown some promise but isn't strong enough to consistently bail out a struggling offense. Upcoming games against St. Bonaventure and tougher opponents like Florida Atlantic and E Kentucky will be critical. Winning against teams with better rankings could bolster their confidence and improve their standing, but consistent failures could severely diminish their chances of making it to the NCAA tournament without an automatic bid.
