Projection: need to automatically qualify
Troy's resume is currently lacking the quality wins necessary for a strong tournament case, with losses to competition like Arkansas and Oregon showcasing inconsistency against higher-tier teams. Their victories over Toledo and Eastern Kentucky offer some positives, but those teams are not seen as elite and do little to boost Troy’s standing. As they approach conference play, facing opponents like Georgia State and Appalachian State will be crucial for bolstering their profile; wins in those matchups could enhance their legitimacy in the eyes of the selection committee. However, any slip-ups against weaker teams could severely undermine their chances, leaving Troy with little room for error if they hope to make an impact in the NCAA tournament.
