Projection: need to automatically qualify

Louisiana’s profile has flashes that remind you what this team can do but also a string of damaging road losses that leave its at-large case thin, so the most realistic path to the big dance is winning the Sun Belt tournament. The resume’s high points are a neutral-site victory over Georgia State, a road win at James Madison and solid home wins against Central Michigan and Georgia Southern that show they can close out winnable games. The low points are the heavy defeats away at Stanford, Santa Clara, UC Davis and McNeese State plus disappointing setbacks at home to Jackson State and on the road at Arkansas State and Troy that selection committees won’t overlook. With quality wins largely clustered at home or at a neutral stop and the worst results coming in true road environments, the conference tournament is where Louisiana can erase the damaging losses and lock in a berth.
