Projection: need to automatically qualify
NC Central's current record and the tough start against teams like George Mason and Gardner-Webb leave them in a precarious position. Their offensive struggles have been highlighted in these losses, particularly against Gardner-Webb, where they allowed a high point total while failing to match it. While there's potential for improvement against lower-ranked opponents like Coppin State and Maryland Eastern Shore, the margin for error is slim. Winning against teams within the conference, particularly those with similar rankings, is crucial for building a tournament-worthy resume, but they need to secure these wins convincingly to boost their standing. A significant victory against a team like William & Mary could also serve as a potential springboard.
