Projection: need to automatically qualify

New Orleans has a resume built around a marquee road win at TCU and an impressive trip to Tulane that prove this team can win in hostile environments, but those bright spots are overwhelmed by brutal blowouts at Houston, Texas Tech, and LSU and by inconsistent results in Southland play that include damaging losses to McNeese State and Nicholls State. The selection committee values road and neutral victories and will reward the upsets, yet it will also hold the lopsided defeats and shaky conference resume against them when weighing an at-large case. With limited resume‑boosting wins outside the league and several results that will draw scrutiny, the clearest, most reliable way for this team to reach the NCAA Tournament is to secure the Southland’s automatic berth by winning the conference tournament.
