Projection: need to automatically qualify

South Florida's season has been marked by inconsistency, highlighted by their losses to notable opponents like Florida and Utah State, which reveal a struggle to compete at higher levels. While they have secured some victories against weaker teams, such as the wins over Arkansas Pine Bluff and West Georgia, their inability to claim notable wins against comparable or higher-ranked programs puts them in a precarious position. Their defensive metrics particularly stand out as a concern, reinforcing the need for stronger performances in upcoming conference games. With crucial matchups against teams like Memphis and Wichita State, they face critical opportunities to bolster their resume, but they must significantly improve their results to have a legitimate shot at an NCAA tournament berth, as an automatic qualifying path seems to be their most viable route at this point.
