Projected seed: 11 (automatic qualifier)
Longwood's current resume shows some early promise with wins against weaker opponents, but their overall record of two victories in a limited schedule doesn’t provide a strong case for at-large consideration. The victories over teams like Morgan State and Wisconsin-Milwaukee are positive indicators, yet their offense struggles significantly as indicated by their rankings, which sharply contrasts with their somewhat better defensive stats. Upcoming challenges, such as the matchup against Gardner-Webb, who ranks much higher, and multiple games against teams with winning records like NC Central and Winthrop, will be crucial. If Longwood can capture these wins, especially in conference play, they will need to lever those results to secure an automatic bid by winning the Big South tournament, since their current standing suggests an uphill battle for an at-large spot.
