Projection: likely out

UNC Wilmington’s résumé looks short because its best moments — road wins at Valparaiso and Louisiana and a solid home victory over Hofstra — show the team can win away from home, but those are outweighed by damaging results like the home loss to Howard, repeated defeats to William & Mary and the neutral-site loss to Campbell that closed its season. The bulk of the win column came against low-end opponents and several narrow setbacks to College of Charleston and others leave little margin for error. With the conference tournament exit, there are no remaining opportunities to add a marquee neutral or road triumph the committee values, so the résumé lacks the signature victories needed to push it onto the field.
