Projection: need to automatically qualify
FGCU's season has had its share of ups and downs, with notable wins that evoked some surprise – most prominently, their unexpected triumph over a high-flying FAU team. However, these moments of brilliance have been interspersed with stretches of inconsistency, especially evident in losses to teams like Mercer and Kennesaw State, which should have been more competitive based on talent alone. Their defensive metrics suggest a disciplined approach on that end of the floor, yet the offense has underperformed, lacking efficiency and firepower. Given these mixed results and the absence of any head-turning wins against power conference opponents – coming close but falling short against Indiana and Pitt – FGCU's path to the big dance almost certainly requires them to capture their conference tournament title for an automatic bid, as their overall body of work and impact victories aren't likely to persuade the selection committee for an at-large berth.
