Projection: need to automatically qualify
SC Upstate's resume is built around a few useful road wins like at Fresno State and at Charleston Southern but is offset by damaging losses on the road at North Carolina and Nebraska and discouraging home setbacks to Tennessee Tech and Winthrop, so without a marquee neutral-site victory and with uneven results away from its own gym the clearest path into the NCAA field is to secure the Big South's automatic berth. The remaining conference slate against familiar opponents such as Gardner-Webb, Longwood, Presbyterian and another trip to Winthrop hands the staff concrete chances to restore credibility, win the games that matter and put the program in control of its postseason fate.
