Projection: need to automatically qualify

NC A&T finds itself in a challenging position for NCAA tournament consideration. Their non-conference results against teams like Wake Forest and Liberty highlight a tough schedule, but the inability to secure any marquee wins significantly weakens their resume. The struggles on both ends of the court, particularly on defense where they rank poorly, lead to costly losses, such as the narrow defeat against Buffalo. Upcoming matchups against teams like Elon and UNC Greensboro will be critical; winning those could bolster their credibility in conference play. However, without a significant turnaround in performance and results, the pathway to an at-large bid looks bleak, placing increased pressure to secure an automatic qualifying position from their conference tournament.
