Projection: need to automatically qualify

UNC Wilmington's current standing is shaky, primarily due to their mixed results against mid-tier opponents and struggles against stronger teams. For instance, the loss to Kansas exposed vulnerabilities, especially on defense, while the defeat against Colgate raises doubts about their ability to compete consistently. Wins against teams like Sam Houston State and Appalachian State are positives, but they need more substantial victories. Upcoming games against East Carolina and Marshall present crucial opportunities to enhance their resume; both are vital chances to secure quality wins that could bolster their tournament hopes. However, losing ground to lower-ranked teams like Towson or Monmouth could be detrimental, emphasizing the need for consistent performance down the stretch.
