Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ark Pine Bluff’s résumé is defined more by heavy defeats on the road at major nonconference stops than by memorable wins. A victory at Illinois Chicago is the main positive, but it is overwhelmed by lopsided losses at Washington, Vanderbilt, SMU, Oklahoma, Tulsa, Marshall and Miami Ohio that underline a lack of quality wins away from home and vulnerability versus higher-level opponents. The remaining slate offers a stretch of manageable home dates against Alabama A&M, Alabama State, Florida A&M, Alcorn State, Jackson State and Mississippi Valley State alongside tricky road tests at Texas Southern, Prairie View, Southern University and Grambling, so the path forward is straightforward: win the games you should at home and pick up meaningful road triumphs so you can erase the damage of the brutal nonconference ledger and arrive at the conference tournament with momentum.
