Projection: need to automatically qualify

NC Central’s resume is troubling, marked by a series of losses that highlight significant weaknesses in both offense and defense. Their inability to win against teams like George Mason and West Virginia indicates struggles at the higher levels of competition, while their close wins against lower-ranked teams, such as Gardner Webb and William & Mary, provide little confidence. The upcoming schedule offers ample opportunity for improvement against teams like Coppin State and Maryland Eastern Shore, both of which are ranked lower, but even with expected victories, the overall lack of quality wins could force NC Central to rely on winning their conference tournament to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament.
