Projection: need to automatically qualify

VMI's chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge significantly on securing an automatic bid through the Southern Conference tournament, as their overall performance has not been impressive. Their weak non-conference showing, highlighted by heavy losses to teams like Pittsburgh and Davidson, underscores a lack of competitive strength. Wins against lower-ranked opponents, such as Charleston Southern and Bellarmine, do not bolster their resume sufficiently. With many upcoming games against mid-tier opponents like ETSU and Furman, VMI has the opportunity to improve its standing with some upsets; however, inconsistency and a generally poor defensive rating make every game critical. They must capitalize on matchups against teams like Western Carolina and The Citadel to bolster their chances of a conference tournament run.
