Projection: need to automatically qualify
Alcorn State's current situation is concerning, as they've started the season without a win and faced some tough opponents who have exposed weaknesses in both their offense and defense. Losses to teams like Utah and Utah State highlight the challenges Alcorn faces against higher-ranked competition, while their inability to score effectively magnifies their struggles. With the majority of their upcoming games against similarly ranked or lower-tier opponents within their conference, there's a slim path to improvement. They will need to capitalize on matchups against teams like Mississippi Valley State and Arkansas Pine Bluff to build momentum and enhance their standing. Ultimately, their best chance to make the NCAA tournament hinges on securing the automatic bid by performing well in conference play.
