Projection: need to automatically qualify

Tennessee Tech is facing an uphill battle for NCAA tournament consideration due to a weak overall resume. Their losses against stronger teams like Georgia and Vanderbilt have been significant, indicating struggles in high-pressure situations. While they’ve secured wins against teams like Presbyterian and Southern Indiana, those victories lack the weight necessary to bolster their standing significantly. With their upcoming schedule, succeeding against Southern Indiana and Tennessee State will be crucial, as those matchups could serve as resume builders. However, their inconsistency, particularly on defense, which has seen them give up too many points to lower-ranked opponents, raises questions about their capability to make a strong push in their remaining games or any potential tournament scenarios.
