Projection: need to automatically qualify

Furman's season has been a mixed bag, featuring some solid wins against teams like Belmont and Tulane, but also inconsistencies, particularly against tougher opponents such as Kansas. Their record showcases a strong offense at times, especially in victories over lower-ranked teams, but the defensive metrics raise concerns, as evident in losses to UNC Greensboro and Chattanooga. To strengthen their tournament hopes, Furman needs to secure wins against rivals in the Southern Conference and avoid any slip-ups against lower-ranked teams while potentially seeking a marquee win in a non-conference matchup. Without these key victories, they may find themselves needing to win the conference tournament to guarantee a spot in the NCAA field.
