Projection: need to automatically qualify

SE Louisiana needs to win the Southland tournament to reach the NCAA field because its nonconference slate featured difficult road trips to Mississippi and LSU that ended poorly and its few signature moments are limited to neutral wins over Gardner Webb and Navy plus a road victory at Houston Christian, which are outweighed by damaging conference setbacks including a home loss to Stephen F. Austin and defeats to McNeese State and New Orleans. The team has shown it can be competitive away with close outings at Georgia Tech and Mississippi State but without a true marquee win the remaining stretch of conference games at Stephen F. Austin and at Lamar along with matchups against Houston Christian, Incarnate Word, Northwestern Louisiana, East Texas A&M, UTRGV, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Nicholls State and New Orleans are the only realistic opportunities to alter how a selection committee will view this resume.
