Projection: need to automatically qualify
UNC Asheville's path to the NCAA tournament hinges on their ability to dominate within the Big South Conference, as their overall resume is lacking due to several heavy losses against tougher opponents, such as Alabama and George Mason. Their struggles on defense are particularly concerning, demonstrated in games like the high-scoring defeat to Cent Arkansas and close encounters with teams like High Point and Longwood, where they allowed too many points. However, notable offensive outings against teams like Winthrop and SC Upstate, where they managed to put up substantial scores, indicate potential if they can find consistency. To secure an automatic bid, they must capitalize on upcoming conference games, particularly against formidable foes like Radford and Longwood, and solidify themselves as a force within the Big South.
