Projection: need to automatically qualify

Louisiana's tournament hopes hinge on their ability to improve their performance in conference play. Their lackluster offensive and defensive rankings raise significant concerns, particularly highlighted by their drubbing against Houston and struggles against mid-tier opponents like Liberty and UAB. Their best chance for a strong resume lies in wins against teams like Texas State and Arkansas State, who are positioned higher but still beatable. Additionally, they must avoid slip-ups against the lower-tier teams, such as Old Dominion and Southern Miss, which could jeopardize their standing within the Sun Belt. A few key victories over the right opponents could bolster their case for an at-large bid, but right now, it seems like the path to the tournament necessitates winning the conference championship.
