Projection: need to automatically qualify
UNC Asheville's season reflects significant challenges, particularly against top-tier opponents like Alabama and George Mason, where the team struggled to keep pace. While they secured several wins against lower-ranked teams in their conference, including High Point and Presbyterian, those victories don’t carry substantial weight. Their inconsistent performance and a lack of quality wins are compounded by a porous defense, as demonstrated in losses to Cent Arkansas and Ohio. To bolster their chances for an NCAA tournament appearance, they'll need to dominate in their remaining conference games and secure wins against stronger opponents like Radford and Winthrop. Without a strong finish and a conference title, an automatic bid seems necessary for any tournament dreams.
