Projection: need to automatically qualify
Louisiana's path to the NCAA tournament is likely going to hinge on grabbing the Sun Belt Conference's automatic bid in the conference tournament. While the team has had some notable wins, they've also stumbled in some critical matchups against higher competition like Samford and Louisiana Tech, and they've missed opportunities to boost their resume with a handful of losses to less competitive teams, including a disappointing defeat at ULM. Their ability to navigate the upcoming conference tournament will be the defining factor for their March chances, as their non-conference performance and middle-of-the-road metrics in both offensive and defensive efficiency don't paint the picture of an at-large contender. The focus now should be on peaking at the right time and finding consistency that has eluded them throughout the season in key matchups. The tournament will be their chance to rewrite the story of their season with the stakes at their highest.
