Projection: need to automatically qualify
Nicholls State is struggling to build an NCAA tournament resume, evidenced by their losses to higher-ranked teams like New Mexico and Cincinnati, with particularly concerning margins. Their victories over teams like Southeastern Louisiana and New Orleans aren’t enough to stand out, especially given those teams' overall lower profiles. Upcoming games against Southland opponents are crucial, as securing wins against competitors like Lamar and McNeese State could help elevate their standing, but with most match-ups closely contested and a few daunting away games that they are projected to lose, their best chance at an NCAA tournament bid remains through winning their conference tournament.
