Projection: need to automatically qualify

Incarnate Word’s season has been marked by inconsistency, highlighted by their struggles against top competition and lackluster rankings. A notable loss to Duke significantly tarnishes their profile, while narrow defeats like the one against Northern Arizona only underscore a propensity to falter in competitive matchups. Their wins against lower-tier teams, such as Prairie View and Ark Pine Bluff, do little to enhance their standing in the eyes of the selection committee. Upcoming games against teams like Lamar and SF Austin could provide vital opportunities to make a statement, but their current weaknesses, particularly on defense, will need to be addressed to have any hope of automatic qualification through the Southland Conference tournament.
