Projection: need to automatically qualify

Winthrop's tournament resumé this season suggests an outside shot without an automatic bid. The Eagles have shown bursts of potential but also inconsistency. Their record holds up decently within their conference, yet they have fallen short in key matchups that could have bolstered their chances, notably against UNC Asheville, which has been a stronger competitor in the Big South. Losses to potential bubble teams like High Point reveal vulnerabilities. Furthermore, while they have managed to hold their own in several non-conference games, including a competitive showing at Clemson and a tight battle at Georgia, the lack of marquee wins leaves the profile thin. Ultimately, Winthrop’s mixed outcomes against diverse opposition illuminate the need for a strong conference tournament showing to leap into the field of 68.
