Projection: need to automatically qualify

Central Arkansas’ season is defined by a couple of solid wins like the victories over Eastern Washington and Eastern Illinois and some useful road results inside the league, but those moments are overshadowed by heavy losses at North Carolina and Arkansas and further damaging defeats at Vanderbilt, SMU and other nonconference stops that blunt any at-large argument. The slate still contains meaningful chances to change the narrative — road tests at FGCU, Austin Peay and Stetson, a home date with Queens and another meeting with Bellarmine — yet without a signature neutral-site or high-profile road victory the committee is likely to view this profile as one that needs to be settled in the conference tournament to earn an NCAA spot.
