Projection: need to automatically qualify

UNC Greensboro will almost certainly have to win the Southern Conference tournament to make the NCAA field because its résumé is light on meaningful wins and pockmarked by ugly defeats on true road trips at Kansas State and at NC State and by multiple neutral-site setbacks. The high points are a neutral-site victory over Youngstown State and a road triumph at East Carolina, but the resume is otherwise built on victories over conference and low-major opponents such as Chattanooga, Samford, Citadel and VMI that won’t impress a committee. The team has been vulnerable away from home and in neutral settings, and the remaining schedule — including head-to-head clashes with Furman and road dates at Mercer and Citadel among other league tests — gives a few chances to add something eye-catching, yet those opportunities are limited, so the cleanest path onto the bracket is capturing the conference’s automatic bid.
