Projection: need to automatically qualify
New Orleans is facing a tough road ahead, with consistently low performance metrics in both offense and defense, which are evident in their losses to stronger opponents like Kansas State and Iowa where they were significantly outmatched. The narrow victory against Lindenwood, a lower-ranked team, suggests they struggle against comparable competition, while the win over Tulane demonstrates potential—but should be viewed with caution given it’s an exception rather than a rule. With most of their upcoming games showing unfavorable odds of victory, New Orleans will need to pull off several upsets in their conference to enhance their tournament consideration, turning key matchups against teams like Nicholls State and TAMU-Corpus Christi into must-win scenarios. Without drastic improvement, their best shot at the tournament will hinge on securing the Southland Conference's automatic bid.
