Projection: need to automatically qualify

Gardner-Webb’s nonconference slate offered no signature wins to sway the committee, with heavy road defeats at Minnesota and Clemson and lopsided setbacks at DePaul and Richmond leaving the résumé hurt by poor results away from home. The brightest moments were a competitive neutral outing against SE Louisiana and a firmer showing at Elon, but those performances do little to erase the damage of the major road losses. The remainder of the schedule presents several winnable home dates against Ga Southern, Wofford, Charleston So, Radford, Presbyterian, SC Upstate and Longwood alongside tougher road tests at Winthrop, High Point, UNC Asheville and Charleston So, so any change in the committee’s view will depend on grabbing road or neutral wins and making a deep run through the conference tournament.
