Projection: likely out

Bowling Green’s profile combines a signature road victory at Kansas State and a solid road showing at Ohio with a string of nonconference blemishes that blunt those highlights; an away loss at Davidson and home setbacks to William & Mary and Utah Valley undercut the narrative that the team is reliably winning against top opposition. Neutral-site wins over Bucknell and VMI and comfortable home victories against Texas State, Le Moyne, and Chicago State bulk up the win total but carry little weight when the opponents are weak. The team’s ability to win away from home is its best credential, yet the overall softness of the nonconference slate and the damaging losses leave very little margin for error in league play. Upcoming road tests at Massachusetts, Kent, Toledo, and Central Michigan along with home dates against Akron and Buffalo are genuine chances to add resume-changing wins, but unless those opportunities are seized the profile will remain short of a clean case for the tournament.
