Projection: need to automatically qualify

Nicholls State's chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge largely on their ability to improve their current standing. The team's inconsistent performance against quality opponents is concerning; for instance, they were overwhelmed by New Mexico and Cincinnati, both of whom are solid programs. While they secured wins against teams like McNeese State and Southeast Louisiana, those victories don't significantly bolster their credentials when the overall lack of high-quality wins stands out. To enhance their resume, they must capitalize on their remaining games, particularly focusing on upcoming matchups against TAMU-Corpus Christi and Southeastern Louisiana, where they stand a reasonable chance to secure wins. Success in these contests could provide a critical lift, but failing to do so leaves them reliant on winning the Southland Conference tournament for a shot at the NCAA field.
