Projection: need to automatically qualify

North Alabama’s profile explains why the team’s only realistic ticket to the NCAA tournament is the conference title. A handful of quality road victories at San Francisco, Bellarmine and Jacksonville State give the committee a few resume highlights and show the program can win away from home, but those bright spots are overwhelmed by lopsided trips to Mississippi State and Clemson and damaging home setbacks to North Florida and Jacksonville that erode any at-large case. Additional poor road results at Loyola Marymount and Lipscomb and a neutral-site stumble against FGCU underline inconsistent play against better opposition, so the only clear way to change the picture is to string together meaningful road or neutral wins in conference play and then win the ASUN crown.
