Projection: need to automatically qualify

UNC Greensboro’s résumé reads like a team that has shown it can compete but hasn’t collected the kind of road or neutral wins that earn serious at-large consideration; the neutral victory over Youngstown State is the bright spot but heavy road defeats at Kansas State and at NC State and neutral setbacks to Delaware and Miami Ohio leave a lot of question marks. Close losses at Elon and at Queens suggest the Spartans are not outclassed against midlevel opponents, yet those results do little to offset the damage from the blowouts against high-major opposition. The remaining slate gives clear opportunities to change the narrative with trips to Furman, Wofford, ETSU and East Carolina and key home chances against conference foes like VMI and Citadel, but unless those road and neutral tests flip in Greensboro’s favor the most reliable path to the NCAA field will run through winning the Southern Conference tournament.
