Projection: need to automatically qualify

Chicago State is essentially dependent on the conference automatic berth because its nonconference body of work offers no signature wins and is marked by heavy losses on the road at established programs such as DePaul, St. Louis, Butler, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota. The one true highlight is the road victory at Loyola-Chicago and a competitive game with Illinois-Chicago, but those moments are overwhelmed by lopsided setbacks and a lack of neutral-site or high-quality road results that selection committees prize. The remaining slate against conference foes like St. Francis PA, Mercyhurst, Stonehill, Central Connecticut, Fairleigh Dickinson, LIU Brooklyn, Wagner, New Haven and Le Moyne represents the only clear avenue to change the narrative because regular-season wins alone will not erase the damage from the nonconference losses.
