Projection: need to automatically qualify

Lipscomb’s résumé is shaped by a pair of damaging road showings at major conference arenas that exposed defensive issues, balanced against a resume-building road victory at Marshall and comfortable nonconference wins such as the home result versus Western Carolina and wins over SE Missouri State and Alabama A&M. Losses at Mercer, UNC Asheville and Belmont underline a tendency to drop winnable road games against midmajor peers, and the lack of a marquee neutral-site triumph over a power-conference opponent leaves the committee wanting proof the team can win away from top competition. Upcoming high-visibility road tests at Duke and Cincinnati along with the conference slate against FGCU, Stetson, Jacksonville and North Florida present clear chances to flip the narrative by delivering road and neutral wins and by locking up the league picture, and if Lipscomb seizes those opportunities its profile will look markedly stronger while failure to do so will leave it as a solid midmajor with too many damaging losses.
