Projection: need to automatically qualify

Furman's chances for an NCAA Tournament berth hinge largely on their ability to secure an automatic qualification from the Southern Conference. Their resume features a mix of solid wins, such as the narrow victory over Belmont and the consistent performances against lower-ranked teams, but the losses to teams like UNC Greensboro and Chattanooga raise concerns about consistency. Additionally, facing strong opponents like Kansas highlighted their struggles, especially defensively, which is a significant red flag. To bolster their standing, winning against Wofford and performing well in the conference tournament will be essential; otherwise, their chances for an at-large bid seem slim given the overall mediocrity of their performance against RPI top teams and the lack of standout victories.
