Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bowling Green’s résumé makes it clear that the surest path to the NCAA is the conference tournament because the profile offers a signature road victory at Kansas State but is otherwise a mix of neutral wins over Bucknell and VMI and damaging setbacks that selection committees will notice. Road wins at Massachusetts and Western Michigan prove the team can travel, yet the lopsided loss at Arkansas State and nonconference defeats to Utah Valley, Davidson, and William & Mary blunt any at-large case. The Falcons have handled lesser foes at home but dropped tight games at Kent and Toledo and fell to Akron and Miami of Ohio, a pattern that leaves too much inconsistency and too few resume-changing wins for a committee to feel comfortable extending an invitation without the automatic berth.
