Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)
Longwood's resume shows a mix of solid wins and troubling losses that hinder their chances for a favorable tournament seed. Victories against UAB and Milwaukee are commendable, demonstrating they can compete against higher-tier teams, but losses to Kansas State and McNeese State reveal vulnerabilities, particularly on defense, where they struggle against even decent competition. Their conference performances, notably the emphatic wins over teams like High Point and SC Upstate, are crucial, yet the inconsistency, particularly in games against lower-ranked opponents like Gardner-Webb, raises doubts about their ability to withstand the pressure of the Big South tournament. To solidify their tournament dreams, dominating their remaining conference matchups is essential, starting with Winthrop, which is pivotal to maintain momentum and confidence.
