Projection: need to automatically qualify

Southern Miss is in a precarious position for NCAA tournament consideration, as evidenced by their challenging non-conference schedule and inconsistent performance. Several losses to teams like UAB and Mississippi highlight significant defensive issues, particularly against high-scoring opponents. Their win against Marshall showed they can compete within their conference, but overall, they will need to rally and secure victories against tougher teams like South Alabama and Troy to improve their standing. Wins in these matches are crucial, as they will not only boost their confidence but also enhance their resume against more competitive peers in the Sun Belt. Without these victories, their chances remain slim.
