Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Longwood’s résumé reads like a team that can win the games it should but has not yet produced a signature victory, with competent wins over James Madison and Binghamton, a neutral-site win over Maine and a gritty road trip to Morgan State that show it can close out lesser opponents. The damage is obvious in the heavy true-road defeats at Pittsburgh, Columbia and American and the neutral setback to Siena, results that undercut confidence in its ability to win away from home. A high-profile road test at Wake Forest and the upcoming conference slate, which includes trips to Winthrop and UNC Asheville and key meetings with Radford and Charleston Southern, give Longwood clear chances to change perception. Until those road and neutral opportunities turn into quality wins, the mix of soft top-end victories and damaging losses keeps the team’s standing modest in a committee’s eyes.
