Projection: need to automatically qualify
Central Michigan's current profile suggests a challenging road ahead for securing an NCAA tournament spot. With a mixed bag of results—highlighted by a notable win against South Alabama but marred by losses to teams like Stony Brook and a significantly lopsided defeat against Arizona—their overall inconsistency is evident. Their ability to win close games, such as the nail-biter against George Mason, demonstrates some potential, yet their weak offensive rankings raise concerns. Upcoming games against Ohio and Akron will be pivotal; winning these would not only enhance their resume but also build momentum heading into conference play, where they must shine to capture a spot through automatic qualification.
