Projection: need to automatically qualify
South Carolina State is struggling early in the season, with their lone win yet to come against a higher-ranked opponent, exposing significant vulnerabilities in both offensive and defensive performance. The losses to South Carolina and Jacksonville highlight their inability to compete against strong programs, and future matchups against teams like Marshall and Georgia pose challenges that might further erode their standing. For South Carolina State to have any realistic chance of making the NCAA tournament, they'll need to secure victories in their conference schedule, particularly against Morgan State and Coppin State, who are also seen as pivotal opponents in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Winning those games is essential, as it would not only improve their record but also bolster their chances for an automatic berth.
