Projection: need to automatically qualify

Gardner-Webb’s profile is built more from a gauntlet of difficult road trips than from résumé-building victories, with lopsided setbacks at Minnesota, Clemson, Tennessee, DePaul, and Richmond and neutral-site losses to Navy and SE Louisiana leaving the resume light on quality wins, while the season’s best moment is a hard-fought home victory over SC Upstate and the team showed competitive stretches at Elon, Ga Southern, Charleston Southern, Winthrop, and Radford that suggest it can beat league peers on the right night; the remaining slate includes home opportunities against Longwood, UNC Asheville, and a rematch with SC Upstate as well as tough road dates at UNC Asheville, Charleston Southern, High Point, Radford, and Winthrop, so with few signature nonconference wins and several damaging road defeats the only realistic route to the NCAA field for Gardner-Webb is to win the Big South’s automatic berth.
