Projection: likely out
UNC Wilmington's season, punctuated by that standout win against a high-profile Kentucky team away from home, certainly will turn heads in the committee room. However, losses to less formidable opponents like Elon and Campbell, and uninspiring computer rankings on both the offensive and defensive ends, tarnish what could be an NCAA tournament-worthy resume. The performance against marquee teams like Arkansas, despite ending in a loss, shows there's potential in this squad, but with mixed outcomes in conference play—splitting games with Colonial Athletic Association heavyweights like College of Charleston and Drexel—they haven't solidified themselves as a lock. Their resume would benefit greatly from a strong showing in the conference tournament to buffer against the inconsistency seen throughout the season and to accentuate their big-time upset capabilities.
