Projection: need to automatically qualify

Gardner-Webb's resume is fraught with challenges that severely limit their chances for an at-large bid. Their non-conference schedule featured losses to teams like Tennessee and Pittsburgh, highlighting their struggles against higher-tier competition. While they secured wins against teams like NC Central and Elon, their fortunate victories are offset by multiple losses, particularly evident in games against fellow Big South teams such as High Point and UNC Asheville, where they were unable to make a lasting impact. The team's weak overall record, coupled with a defense ranked poorly, masks any offensive production. Their path forward relies heavily on finishing strong in conference play and seizing the automatic qualifying spot through the conference tournament.
