Projection: need to automatically qualify
Southern University's trajectory suggests they need a strong finish in their conference to have any shot at the NCAA tournament. Their non-conference performance was weak, suffering notable losses against quality opponents like Iowa and Mississippi, indicating challenges when facing higher-caliber teams. Their victories against Louisiana Tech and Tulsa are positives but lack the weight needed for an at-large bid. Upcoming matchups against Texas Southern and Prairie View are critical, not just for building confidence, but also for boosting the overall profile. Winning these games in their conference slate will be essential, as their current standing doesn't provide enough compelling evidence to warrant serious NCAA consideration without winning the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament.
