Projection: need to automatically qualify

Nicholls State finds themselves in a challenging position for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament due to a mix of narrow wins and significant losses. Their non-conference schedule featured tough matchups, highlighted by losses to New Mexico and Cincinnati, where they struggled defensively. While they have racked up solid wins against lower-ranked teams like East Texas A&M and UTRGV, their inconsistency—evidenced by losses to opponents like McNeese State and SF Austin—has hurt their overall appeal. To improve their standing, they must capitalize on upcoming games against stronger conference rivals and avoid slipping against teams they are expected to beat, as every game carries weight heading into selection time.
