Projection: need to automatically qualify

Temple’s NCAA tournament hopes are hanging by a thread. Their record features wins against weaker opponents like Sacred Heart, Monmouth, and Buffalo, but the losses to teams like Villanova and Memphis highlight their struggles against quality competition. The glaring gap in defensive performance, ranking near the bottom, raises red flags. Additionally, dropping games to teams such as East Carolina and North Texas, which they could have used as resume boosters, further diminishes their chances. Upcoming matchups, particularly against UAB and their home game against South Florida, present crucial opportunities for improvement but also risks of further damaging their already fragile standing.
