Projection: need to automatically qualify

Norfolk State's path to the NCAA tournament is challenging, primarily due to a lack of quality wins and inconsistent performances throughout the season. While they have secured victories against lower-ranked teams like Alabama State and Coppin State, their losses to mid-level opponents such as William & Mary and Stanford expose their vulnerability, particularly on the defensive end. Additionally, their inability to compete against higher-tier opponents like Baylor and Tennessee shows a significant gap that needs to be addressed. To enhance their tournament hopes, Norfolk State must take advantage of upcoming games against Morgan State and Howard. Winning those matchups will not only solidify their position but also provide a much-needed boost to their strength of schedule.
