Projection: need to automatically qualify
Hampton's season is off to a shaky start with a very limited overall record and narrow margins in losses to mid-range opponents like George Washington and Providence. Their performance against Norfolk State showed potential, but the win against a struggling UMBC team doesn’t carry much weight. The upcoming game against Boise State presents a tough challenge that is likely to expose their weaknesses, especially offensively. To improve their standing, they need to secure wins in key matchups against NC A&T, Campbell, and Delaware, as these are more attainable and can boost their confidence and resume. However, consistent lack of offensive output raises concerns about their ability to compete effectively. Overall, their best chance for postseason play hinges on winning their conference tournament.
