Projection: need to automatically qualify

UTRGV’s chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge heavily on their performance in the Southland Conference. Their record includes some tough losses against ranked opponents like Nebraska and Wisconsin, which indicate they can compete at a higher level, but their poor defensive rankings highlight a major vulnerability. They’ve had some solid wins, particularly against SF Austin and Southern Utah, which helps their case, but inconsistency in conference play is a red flag. Upcoming games against teams like TAM C. Christi and McNeese State will be pivotal; winning a majority of these matchups will be critical to improving their standing and potentially securing an automatic bid. Without a strong finish to the season, their prospects remain slim.
