Projection: need to automatically qualify

New Orleans is currently facing a tough road in terms of securing a spot in the NCAA tournament due to a subpar overall and conference performance. With an extremely low computer ranking and a series of lopsided losses to top-tier teams like Kansas State and Baylor, their resume lacks the quality wins that could make them stand out. While they did manage to secure a victory against fellow Southland competitor Lamar, it isn’t enough to make a significant impact. Their defense, ranking amongst the worst, consistently exposes them in high-pressure situations, as seen in their losses against better opponents such as Iowa and Texas, where they struggled to contain offensive threats. To improve their standing, New Orleans will need to dominate their remaining conference games and likely rely on winning their conference tournament to secure an automatic bid, as their overall body of work does not currently support an at-large selection.
