Projection: need to automatically qualify

Wofford’s profile reads like a team that will need the automatic berth because its season is built on solid conference wins, including a road victory at Bellarmine and home wins over Mercer and UNC Greensboro, but it is undermined by ugly, lopsided defeats away at George Mason, Auburn and Wichita State that exposed defensive inconsistency. The best moments — beating league rivals on the road and protecting home court, plus bouncing back to beat Mercer at home after a rough road outing — show the Terriers can win the games that matter in their league. The worst moments — the heavy losses on major nonconference trips and a few high-scoring defeats away from home — do real damage to any chance of getting an invite without the automatic. With no signature neutral-site win on the resume, the clearest path to the tournament runs through winning the Southern Conference tournament.
