Projection: need to automatically qualify

Alabama A&M's resume leaves little margin for an at-large bid. Heavy road losses in visits to Indiana and Clemson and a neutral-site defeat to Mississippi erode the committee case. The program's best moments have come against conference opposition, notably a high-scoring win over Jackson State and road victories at league foes such as Mississippi Valley State and Prairie View, but those results lack the profile of road or neutral wins over upper-level opponents. Lopsided nonconference setbacks and tight defeats to familiar conference rivals weaken the overall resume, so the clearest path to the NCAA field runs through capturing the Southwestern AC crown. The upcoming trip to Southern University is a final chance to improve the resume before the conference tournament where an automatic berth will be required.
