Projection: need to automatically qualify
Gardner-Webb’s résumé is built more on a long string of lopsided road defeats at major-conference stops such as Minnesota, Clemson and Tennessee and neutral-site setbacks like Navy than on quality wins, with the lone bright spot a home victory over SC Upstate that does little to erase the absence of any signature road or neutral triumph. Those brutal losses have undermined otherwise competitive moments in league play and shown the team has not yet proven it can beat a noteworthy opponent away from campus, so the committee will view the profile as thin outside of conference results. With only league dates left at Radford, a home meeting with UNC Asheville and a return trip to SC Upstate, the only realistic path onto the national field is to win the Big South’s automatic berth.
