Projection: need to automatically qualify

Arkansas Little Rock’s résumé makes clear why its path to the NCAA Tournament runs through winning the Ohio Valley: its best evidence is a road victory at Ball State and home wins over Southern Indiana and Tennessee Tech, while its most damaging outings are blowout losses at Marquette and West Virginia along with a humbling trip to Central Arkansas and a setback to Arkansas State. Those lopsided road defeats and the absence of quality nonconference scalps weaken any at-large argument and the team’s struggles away from home in major conference environments are especially costly. The remaining conference slate, with meaningful road tests at Southeast Missouri State, Tennessee Martin and Tennessee State and winnable league games at Lindenwood, SIUE, Western Illinois, Eastern Illinois, Morehead State and Southern Indiana, is the practical avenue to alter how the committee will judge this résumé.
