Projection: need to automatically qualify
Incarnate Word’s current resume shows a team that is struggling to find its footing. With a lackluster overall record and a weak defensive ranking, they’ll need a significant turnaround to be considered for an at-large bid. They must focus on crucial upcoming matchups, particularly against teams like South Alabama and Texas A&M Commerce, where their chances are close to even; winning these games could bolster their case. Furthermore, a solid performance against a top-tier opponent like Duke, even if unlikely, would make heads turn. Overall, it's likely that success in the Southland Conference will be their best and only path to the NCAA tournament, necessitating strong finishes against conference rivals like Stephen F. Austin and Lamar.
