Projection: need to automatically qualify

UNC Asheville's resume is concerning, particularly in terms of the striking lack of quality wins and some tough losses. Their performance against Alabama and George Mason highlighted defensive vulnerabilities, as they allowed significant scoring from higher-ranked opponents. While they have secured victories against teams like High Point and Presbyterian, consistency remains a challenge, particularly evident in their losses to teams like Cent Arkansas and UNC Wilmington. The upcoming games against Radford and Gardner-Webb will be critical. Success against these opponents, especially in their conference play, could boost their standing and position them favorably for an automatic bid in the NCAA tournament. However, continuing to deal with poor defensive metrics could hinder their chances significantly.
