Projection: likely out

UNC Wilmington's resume is a mixed bag, and their chances for an NCAA tournament bid are slim. Key victories over teams like Charleston and Delaware display their capability to perform, but those wins come against mid-tier competition and are somewhat offset by their inconsistent performance against stronger opponents, including a tough loss to Kansas and a narrow defeat against Texas Tech. Additionally, their overall defensive rankings raise concerns, especially since they struggled in matchups against teams above them, such as Colgate and Hofstra. While a strong finish in their conference tournament could bolster their standing, they will need to rack up convincing wins and address their defensive vulnerabilities to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament.
