Projection: need to automatically qualify

Norfolk State's chances for an NCAA tournament berth heavily depend on their performance in the upcoming games, especially given their mixed results against teams both in and outside their immediate conference. Their victories against the likes of James Madison and High Point show they can compete with mid-tier opponents, but losses to stronger teams like Baylor and Tennessee reveal a troubling gap in talent and consistency. The remaining games against Howard and South Carolina State, both within their conference, are crucial; winning those matches will not only boost their confidence but also solidify their position in the MEAC standings. However, their weak computer rankings highlight the need for a strong finish, as they are unlikely to secure an at-large bid without winning the conference tournament.
