Projection: need to automatically qualify

UTRGV's path to the NCAA tournament hinges on their performance in the Southland Conference, particularly given their tough non-conference schedule, which included losses to teams like Nebraska and Wisconsin. Their lackluster defensive metrics point to significant vulnerabilities, especially against higher-level teams, as evidenced by their high-scoring losses to Creighton and McNeese State. The upcoming matches against teams like New Orleans and SE Louisiana are crucial; victories in these games will not only bolster their conference standing but also provide a platform for momentum heading into the Southland Conference tournament. Their inconsistent results against similarly ranked opponents further complicate their chances, making the need for an automatic qualification paramount.
