Projection: need to automatically qualify

W Carolina's season has been challenging, evident from a series of significant losses against stronger opponents like Tennessee and Marquette, which highlights their struggles against top-tier competition. Their inconsistent performance, especially on defense, and a limited number of quality wins make it hard to envision an at-large bid. Victories against lower-ranked teams like Bellarmine and Citadel provide some brightness, but their inability to secure wins against formidable foes like Furman and Chattanooga hampers their resume. To improve their standing, they will need a strong showing in the Southern Conference tournament, culminating in a championship win, which is their best path to NCAA tournament entry.
