Projection: need to automatically qualify

Tulane's road to the NCAA tournament is clear-cut: they need to punch their ticket with an automatic bid by winning the American Athletic Conference tournament. While the Green Wave has shown they can light up the scoreboard, their porous defense has cost them dearly, particularly in high-stakes games. Their non-conference wins aren't turning heads, and losses to teams like East Carolina and Charlotte have dented their profile. Nonetheless, Tulane has demonstrated the ability to compete with, and occasionally upset, higher-tier conference opponents, such as their narrow win against Memphis. But moral victories won't sway the selection committee; it's time for the Green Wave to prove they can not only score but also shore up defensively and consistently topple the American Athletic's top dogs when it matters the most. Only a conference championship run will see them dancing come March.
