Projection: need to automatically qualify

UNC Greensboro's profile argues that the only sure path to the NCAA field is winning the Southern Conference tournament because the résumé lacks a marquee nonconference victory and is marred by brutal losses to bigger nonconference opponents such as Kansas State and NC State. The season's best moments are a neutral-site victory over Youngstown State and road wins at East Carolina and VMI plus home victories over Chattanooga, Samford and Citadel that show the team can beat league peers. The worst moments are the lopsided setbacks at Kansas State, at NC State and at ETSU together with the heavy home loss to Furman and nonconference defeats to Delaware, Miami of Ohio and Elon that blunt the impact of those signature wins. A stretch of remaining league games, highlighted by a rematch with Furman, a road trip to Mercer and a trip to Citadel along with home and away dates against Wofford, Western Carolina, ETSU, Chattanooga and Samford, gives UNCG clear opportunities to erase bad losses with meaningful road and neutral results and to build the résumé enough to avoid relying solely on an automatic conference bid.
