Projection: need to automatically qualify
Winthrop's NCAA tournament hopes largely hinge on winning their conference, given their challenging overall resume. While they have managed to defeat weaker opponents like SC Upstate and Charleston Southern, their struggles against higher-caliber teams, such as Virginia Tech and Florida State, reveal a vulnerability, especially on defense. The losses to Radford and High Point also demonstrate inconsistency against peers in their conference. To boost their NCAA profile, Winthrop must dominate the Big South tournament, showcasing not just wins but a solid defensive effort to impress the selection committee, as their defensive metrics suggest they have significant room for improvement.
