Projection: need to automatically qualify

UNC Asheville’s case is shaped by a handful of credible wins and some ugly setbacks that leave its résumé precarious. A neutral-site victory over UNC Greensboro and home wins over Lipscomb and Appalachian State give the staff evidence the squad can beat respectable midmajor opponents, but heavy losses at Wichita State and NC State and road setbacks at Western Carolina and Georgia Southern expose defensive lapses and cast doubt on its ability to win away from home. The remainder of the schedule includes a challenging road trip to UAB along with home dates they must protect and key road opportunities at Charleston Southern and Winthrop that will determine whether the résumé is tightened up or the committee is left focusing on the damaging losses.
