Projection: need to automatically qualify

Southern Miss faces a daunting path to the NCAA tournament, primarily due to their weak overall performance and poor ranking metrics. They’ve had some narrow victories, such as against Bowling Green and Arkansas State, but these wins are overshadowed by a series of heavy losses, including a blowout against Mississippi and several defeats against lower-tier opponents like Abilene Christian and Montana State. Their inconsistent defense and offensive struggles are evident, particularly in high-stakes matchups against teams like UAB and South Alabama, where they allowed significant points and couldn't keep pace. To bolster their standing, they need to notch some crucial wins against top-tier conference rivals in the coming games while avoiding any slip-ups against weaker teams.
