Projection: need to automatically qualify

Queens NC’s résumé reads like a team with explosive offensive nights at home but concerning results away, which explains its current standing. The best proof of their scoring ceiling came in home wins over Gardner Webb, Sacred Heart and UNC Greensboro, yet their trips to Villanova and Virginia ended in lopsided defeats and a loss at Furman highlighted persistent defensive problems against quality competition. A loss to Winthrop further damaged any margin for error, so the remaining slate matters: conference home games and road tests at North Florida and Bellarmine offer clear opportunities to build resume-worthy wins, while nonconference road trips to Wake Forest, Arkansas and Auburn would carry outsized value if flipped. In short, Queens NC has flashed enough offense to be in the conversation but needs road or neutral victories against credible opponents to erase the damage done by its rough away results.
