Projection: need to automatically qualify

South Carolina State’s chances for an NCAA tournament berth hinge heavily on their performance in a low-performing conference and their inability to secure significant victories outside of it. While they have a handful of wins against teams like Morgan State and Norfolk State, who are also struggling, the losses to opponents like South Carolina and Xavier highlight a lack of success against higher competition. The narrow defeat to Norfolk State in the conference tournament could be particularly damaging, as the team needs strong finishes in both conference and non-conference matchups to bolster their profile. With upcoming games against tougher opponents, there’s an opportunity to prove themselves, but without substantial victories, their path to an at-large bid remains slim.
