Projection: need to automatically qualify

UNC Asheville’s résumé features a handful of encouraging road and neutral wins, including victories at Radford and Gardner Webb and neutral‑site successes over UNC Greensboro and Longwood, but those bright spots are overwhelmed by damaging losses away at Wichita State, NC State and UAB and by confounding defeats to conference soft spots such as Presbyterian, High Point and Charleston Southern that undermine any case for an at‑large bid. The best moments prove the team can win on the road and in hostile arenas while the worst results are lopsided setbacks and winnable losses that a committee will remember. With no marquee nonconference scalp to erase those blemishes the program’s only realistic route into the field is to win the Big South tournament and claim the automatic berth.
