Projection: need to automatically qualify
Abilene Christian’s chances of making the NCAA tournament are slim without an automatic bid, primarily due to a weak overall resume. The team has struggled significantly against quality opponents, illustrated by heavy losses to Middle Tennessee and Montana State, and a tough schedule ahead that doesn't offer many opportunities for signature wins. The only real chances for statement victories lie in matchups against teams like Baylor and Texas A&M, but the projected outcomes suggest they're unlikely to secure those wins. To improve their tournament standing, they must capitalize on upcoming games against conference rivals like Southern Utah and Seattle, but their inconsistent performance and weak defensive metrics raise concerns about their capability to rise in the rankings.
