Projection: need to automatically qualify

Winthrop’s season has been a rollercoaster, with notable wins but also damaging losses, particularly against teams significantly below their level, such as the narrow escape against NC Central and defeats against Virginia Tech and Florida State. Their offensive capabilities shine through, as evidenced by high-scoring games against teams like Mercer and SC Upstate, yet their defense is a glaring weakness, often failing to clamp down on opposing offenses, highlighted by the shootouts against Coastal Carolina and Georgia Southern. As they approach critical games against Longwood and UNC Asheville, these matchups will be pivotal; strong performances could bolster their case for an automatic bid, while any slip-up against lower-ranked opponents could further jeopardize their postseason aspirations.
