Projection: need to automatically qualify

UTRGV's season has been a mix of promising wins and troubling losses. Their non-conference schedule featured tough opponents like Nebraska and Creighton, both of whom exposed weaknesses, particularly on defense, as evidenced by the high scores allowed in those matchups. While the victory over Charleston Southern showed potential, inconsistency remains a significant concern, highlighted by losses to teams like SE Louisiana and Lamar, which are critical to establishing quality wins in their conference. To strengthen their resume for tournament consideration, UTRGV must capitalize on remaining games against tougher conference foes and avoid any slip-ups against lower-ranking teams. A strong finish could help them navigate the path to an automatic qualifier, but they’ll need to address their defensive lapses to truly secure their position.
