Projection: need to automatically qualify

Presbyterian's season has indeed been a turbulent ride with highlights and rough patches. They notched an attention-grabbing win early against Vanderbilt, which turned heads because it's not every day a Big South squad topples an SEC opponent, even if that team isn't at the top of their game. Victories against North Florida and Gardner Webb show they can compete, and the second go-around against Winthrop, turning the tables with a convincing outcome, flashes their potential. However, losses to teams like Florida A&M and Tennessee Tech, coupled with the lack of consistency against the upper echelon of their own conference like High Point and Furman, suggest that Presbyterian struggles to sustain success. Their defense and offense analytics don't scream dominance, so winning out in their conference tournament seems like the surest bet for a dance ticket. The sprinkling of upset potential makes them a tough out if they get hot, but their journey is uphill.
