Projection: need to automatically qualify
W Carolina’s profile is defined by a couple of respectable home wins over Stetson and UNC Asheville that show the team can finish games in its own building, but those positives are swamped by demoralizing road losses at Duke, Cincinnati, Virginia Tech and Georgia that make its ability to win away from home a central concern. The resume lacks a marquee nonconference victory and the severity of several defeats will be judged harshly, so the Southern Conference slate becomes the only practical path to repair things with winnable home dates such as Citadel and VMI and meaningful road chances at Furman, Mercer and Wofford that could alter perception. In short, the season hinges on whether the Cats can start turning conference road tests into wins and avoid further damaging losses.
