Projection: need to automatically qualify

Northwestern LA is currently facing significant challenges in solidifying their NCAA tournament position, primarily due to a tough non-conference schedule that has exposed weaknesses, particularly on offense. Their losses against Texas Tech and Oklahoma showcased a lack of scoring efficiency, and a narrow win against a much weaker ULM underlines their struggles to dominate lesser competition. The upcoming games, especially against Texas and McNeese State, are pivotal; victories here could provide the momentum they need, but their inconsistent offensive performance raises concerns. They will need to capitalize on favorable matchups against teams like New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana to enhance their standing in the Southland Conference and secure an automatic bid.
