Projection: need to automatically qualify

Chicago State's season has been riddled with challenges, particularly in non-conference play where they faced numerous top-tier opponents like Texas and Wisconsin, suffering heavy losses that highlight their struggles, especially defensively. The lackluster performance against teams like Youngstown State and Indiana State further emphasizes their vulnerabilities. While they've managed some wins against lower-ranked teams, their recent victory over Wagner indicates they have the potential to compete, but their path to the NCAA tournament is narrowly reliant on securing the automatic bid through a strong showing in the Northeast Conference. Upcoming matchups against teams like St. Francis PA and Mercyhurst will be critical; any slip-ups could further jeopardize their chances.
