Projection: need to automatically qualify

South Carolina State's season highlights some significant challenges that will likely hinder an at-large bid for the NCAA tournament. The team's record against higher-ranked opponents, like their losses to South Carolina and Xavier, showcases their struggle to compete at a higher level. A key win against Alabama A&M offers a glimmer of hope, but it's offset by disappointing outings against teams like Marshall and Bethune-Cookman. With their defensive performance varying widely, highlighted by a solid effort against a good Georgia team and a poor showing against Norfolk State, consistency in upcoming conference play becomes vital. They need to secure wins against lower-ranked opponents such as Morgan State and Coppin State to improve their standing and remain competitive. Ultimately, their best route to the tournament hinges on winning their conference and earning an automatic bid.
