Projection: need to automatically qualify

This placement makes sense because the nonconference slate features a handful of road trips to power programs where the Wildcats were clearly overmatched at Auburn, Miami, Indiana and at Arizona on a neutral floor, while a road victory at Ohio is a respectable out-of-conference win but insufficient to offset those damaging defeats. The team has picked up routine wins inside the Southwestern conference, including important road results at Alabama State and Alabama A&M, yet losses to Southern, Alcorn State, Jackson State, Florida A&M and Prairie View reveal inconsistency against comparable opponents and blunt the value of conference victories. Neutral-site setbacks against Jacksonville and Stony Brook further weaken the profile away from home. With quality wins scarce and several lopsided blemishes against high-major competition, the clearest path to the NCAA field is through a conference tournament title.
