Projection: need to automatically qualify

Gardner-Webb's chances for an NCAA tournament bid hinge on their performance within the Big South and the difficulty of their non-conference schedule. Their wins over teams like Elon and SE Louisiana showcased some offensive potential, but losses to stronger opponents like Tennessee and Pittsburgh illustrate a troubling trend against higher-ranked teams. With several upcoming games against mid-tier opponents like Winthrop and UNC Asheville, they must capitalize on these matchups to bolster their resume. However, a recent loss to SC Upstate paints a concerning picture of inconsistency. To climb into tournament contention, securing victories in conference play is paramount, particularly against teams ranked closely to them.
