Projection: need to automatically qualify
Chicago State’s profile is defined more by heavy defeats on the road at major programs like DePaul, St Louis, Butler, Minnesota, Iowa and Indiana than by its handful of credible results, so the only realistic path to the NCAA field runs through winning the conference; the season’s best moment is the road victory at Loyola‑Chicago and a cluster of home wins over Mercyhurst, Central Conn, New Haven, St Francis PA and Stonehill, but those wins come against low‑profile opposition and are offset by damaging setbacks such as home losses to Wagner and LIU Brooklyn and narrow reversals at F Dickinson and Le Moyne that undermine any case for an at‑large selection, leaving the conference slate and the tournament as the place to change the picture.
