Projection: need to automatically qualify

New Orleans is facing a steep uphill battle to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament, especially given their current record and lackluster performance against stronger opponents. Losses to teams like Kansas State and Troy highlight their struggles, particularly defensively, where they’ve been overwhelmed. The upcoming matchups against higher-ranked teams like Baylor and Iowa present opportunities for signature wins, but with such low odds of success, they’ll need to maximize every chance they get in the Southland Conference. Rallying victories against teams like Nicholls State and McNeese State could be crucial for bolstering their standing, but the team must show significant improvement in both scoring and defending to avoid an early exit from postseason conversations.
