Projection: likely out
Louisiana Tech has put together a season that has them positioned on the brink of dancing come March, bolstered primarily by a stout defensive identity that has been a constant this year. While their offense hasn't set the world alight, it's been their ability to lock down on the defensive end that's worth a nod. However, losses against top-tier opponents like Colorado State and New Mexico show a struggle to claim those key wins that could've elevated their resume significantly. They did notch some commendable victories though, such as overcoming McNeese State and performing consistently against Conference USA competition. Nonetheless, lacking notable marquee wins and considering a few hiccups against middling competition like Sam Houston State or even MTSU in a neutral setting, depending on the conference tournament outcome, they're likely pegged as a lower seed, hopeful for an automatic bid to punch their ticket to the Big Dance.
