Projection: need to automatically qualify
UTRGV’s résumé has clear highs and damaging lows that shape how it will be viewed by a selection panel. Road wins at Southern Utah and at Lamar plus solid home results like the win over Austin Peay show the program can close out winnable chances, but those positives are outweighed by heavy losses on the road at Baylor, Boise State, and Illinois and by setbacks against conference foes such as SF Austin and UT Arlington that expose inconsistency. The closing stretch offers several home opportunities to pile up quality results and a critical trip to McNeese State that will tell the full story, so the team’s future hinges on converting those chances and avoiding more bad losses away from its own court.
