Projection: need to automatically qualify

FGCU faces an uphill battle for an at-large bid, as their overall resume lacks significant quality wins and is weighed down by several losses, especially against teams like St. Bonaventure and Furman, who are perceived as solid mid-major contenders. The upcoming games will be crucial; victories against teams like North Alabama and Jacksonville could help solidify their standing in the Atlantic Sun, but losses in those matchups would further diminish their chances. A strong finish in the conference could set them up for a chance to win the automatic qualifier, especially against teams lower in the rankings like Stetson and Bellarmine, where wins are needed to boost their confidence and NCAA credential.
