Projection: need to automatically qualify
Louisiana’s current trajectory puts them in a tough position for NCAA tournament consideration, especially with just one win against a weak opponent and two losses, one of which was a blowout against a top-tier Houston team. The upcoming games are critical for their chances; a matchup against Liberty could serve as a statement, but the odds are stacked against them. They need strong performances in their remaining conference schedule, particularly against teams like Arkansas State and Troy, where every win not only boosts their record but also their credibility within the Sun Belt. Establishing some momentum now and stealing a few key victories is essential for them to shift the narrative around their season and increase their chances for an automatic qualification.
