Projection: need to automatically qualify

Southern University has had a rollercoaster season with some high highs and low lows. The impressive wins on the road against UNLV and Mississippi State stand out as examples of the team's potential to compete with much higher-ranked opponents. These victories show that Southern can step up in big moments, which is crucial for any squad looking to make noise in March. However, consistency is key in college basketball, and losses to teams like Western Illinois, Valparaiso, and Bethune-Cookman raise red flags. Additionally, their mixed results within the Southwestern Athletic Conference, highlighted by the split series with Texas Southern and losses to Grambling, suggest they've struggled to assert dominance against their regular competition. It's this inconsistency that might worry bracket-watchers, implying that without winning their conference tournament, they might not be a surefire pick come Selection Sunday.
