Projection: need to automatically qualify
UNC Asheville’s chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge on their ability to turn things around quickly, particularly after a rough start that includes significant losses against Alabama and a narrow defeat to Ohio. Their offense has struggled against tougher opponents, demonstrating vulnerability when matched up against quality defenses. Winning upcoming games against North Florida and South Carolina Upstate will be crucial for building momentum. Moreover, their performance in conference play against teams like High Point and Winthrop will be pivotal; victories there could bolster their resume and help them secure a spot in the tournament as the Big South representative. However, with challenging road games ahead, including matchups against Gardner Webb and Charleston Southern, they must improve on both sides of the ball to enhance their chances.
