Projection: need to automatically qualify

Georgia State's resume presents significant challenges for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, highlighted by a lack of quality wins and a vulnerable defense. Their victories against lower-ranked teams like Ball State and NC Central are overshadowed by lopsided losses to powerhouses such as Mississippi State and Kentucky. In the upcoming games, the matchups against conference opponents like South Alabama and Louisiana become critical if Georgia State hopes to bolster their standing. Winning these would not only improve their positioning in the conference tournament but also enhance their overall profile. However, continued struggles against better competition, combined with a generally low ranking, suggest that automatic qualification through the Sun Belt tournament may be their most viable path to the NCAA tournament.
