Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier)

Longwood’s résumé is built on a handful of encouraging results and several damaging road setbacks, so its standing rests on how it handles the run of conference games ahead. A nonconference victory over James Madison and a gritty win at Maine are the kind of wins that committees can reward, but road trips to Pittsburgh and to Columbia and the loss at American leave glaring holes on the road record and lower the margin for error. The conference slate still contains several winnable home dates against teams like Gardner Webb and Charleston Southern and a pair of road opportunities at Winthrop and against a major ACC opponent that could serve as statement chances, so a late push that turns those promising matchups into quality wins would materially improve the profile while continued poor results away from home will keep the résumé on the fringes.
