Projection: likely out
Lipscomb's current resume presents challenges for their NCAA tournament hopes. While their offensive and defensive rankings show inconsistency, particularly evident in losses to teams like Arkansas and Kentucky, they also feature narrow defeats and competitive games that suggest potential. Notably, the loss to Belmont was just a hair away from being a signature win, but their struggles against stronger opponents cast doubt on their overall profile. Going forward, their path to improving their standing relies heavily on dominating lower-ranked conference opponents and capturing victories against mid-tier teams, particularly as they face Jacksonville and North Florida, which are crucial opportunities to bolster their resume. Consistency against teams they’re favored to beat is critical; otherwise, the lack of significant quality wins may leave them on the outside looking in come selection time.
