Longwood’s résumé is built around a handful of respectable wins and some damaging defeats that together leave it on the outside looking in. The program showed it can compete away from home with tight trips to Wake Forest and victories at Morgan State and NC Central while collecting a neutral-site win over Maine, but those positives are offset by heavy losses at Columbia and American and a lopsided visit to Pittsburgh that undercut its overall strength of schedule. The best victories come against lower-tier opponents which limits signature résumé moments, while the worst results against mid-major and Power Five foes create holes a committee will notice. The remaining conference slate features several winnable games but also road tests at Winthrop and High Point that are true opportunities to add a meaningful road or neutral win and repair the profile before postseason decisions are made.
