Projection: need to automatically qualify

UT Arlington faces an uphill battle for NCAA tournament consideration based on their current resume. Their struggles against higher-ranked opponents, like their narrow losses to USC and Louisiana Tech, highlight a tendency to falter under pressure. The defense has been particularly concerning, as evidenced by their performance against Missouri State and Utah Valley, where they allowed significant scoring from these mid-tier teams. While they managed to secure some wins against lower-ranked teams like Abilene Christian and Southern Utah, the inconsistency in both offense and defense means they will need to capitalize on upcoming matchups, especially against tougher opponents like Cal Baptist, to bolster their standing. A strong finish in their conference games could be crucial for an automatic bid.
