Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cleveland State's resume shows definite weaknesses, particularly highlighted by lopsided losses to Michigan and Kansas State, which underscored their challenges against tougher competition. Though they've secured several wins within the Horizon League, victories against teams like IUPUI and Youngstown State aren't impressive enough to significantly boost their tournament profile. Their defensive efficiency stands out, but inconsistency in offensive performance, especially in games against ranked opponents, raises concerns. Upcoming matchups against Oakland and Wright State will be crucial for shaping their standing; strong performances could help their case for an automatic bid, but further losses, especially against competitive teams, would likely diminish their chances altogether.
