Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)
Longwood's path to the NCAA tournament hinges heavily on their conference performance, as their overall resume lacks the strength to earn an at-large bid. Their victories against teams like UAB and High Point show they can compete, but inconsistency is evident with losses to lower-ranked opponents such as Gardner-Webb and NC Central. While they have had moments of offensive success, particularly in high-scoring games, their defensive metrics raise concerns, evidenced by high-scoring losses to teams like SMU and Kansas State. To solidify their standing, winning the Big South conference tournament becomes essential, emphasizing the need to harness their offensive capabilities while shoring up defensive weaknesses in the crucial final stretch.
