Projection: likely out

Troy’s resume highlights several issues that could affect their chances for the NCAA tournament, primarily through the mixture of their performance against tough competition and relatively weak scheduling. The losses to Arkansas and Oregon are significant; both teams are expected to be in the tournament mix, and Troy struggled offensively, showing vulnerability against higher-caliber defenses. While they’ve had a few solid wins in the Sun Belt, such as against UT San Antonio, their overall computer rankings suggest inconsistency. If they can secure victories in upcoming contests against Arkansas State and Southern Miss, it could bolster their standing. However, any slip-ups against teams like Louisiana could severely damage their hopes, making their remaining schedule crucial.
