Projection: need to automatically qualify

SC Upstate's season presents a significant challenge with a record of losses against higher-ranked opponents and struggles within the Big South conference. Their early-season outings, such as the defeats at NC State and Iowa, highlighted defensive shortcomings, leading to substantial point differentials that are tough to overlook. While there have been some bright spots with wins against teams like W Carolina and potentially weaker opponents like Charleston Southern, they still lack the signature wins needed for an at-large bid. The upcoming matchups, particularly against higher-ranked teams in their conference, will be critical for improving their standing, but without a strong finish or a conference tournament title, their tournament aspirations remain reliant on automatic qualification.
