Projection: need to automatically qualify

VMI’s projection hinges on the long shot chance of an automatic tournament bid through winning their conference tournament, with their regular season record painting a stark picture. Losses against top-tier opponents like South Carolina and extensive defeats within their own conference, such as Samford and Chattanooga, highlight the challenges faced on both sides of the court. Consistency remains elusive as well, with their sole victory against Citadel underscored by a subsequent loss in the rematch. Offensive struggles are evident given that no significant victories were posted even against lower-ranked opponents, and defensively, the team found itself often outpaced, bleeding points in key matchups, notably against teams with versatile offenses like Furman and Samford. Without any standout wins to boost their portfolio, their performance suggests that substantial improvements are needed to become serious contenders for tournament play.
