Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cleveland State’s chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge on their ability to secure an automatic qualifier through the Horizon League. Their non-conference schedule did not yield any signature wins, with their most notable losses against teams like Michigan and Kansas State, which highlighted their struggles against stronger competition. Although they've picked up wins against teams like Oakland and Valparaiso, they've also dropped critical games to teams such as Youngstown State and Robert Morris, which undermines their overall credibility. Their defense shows promise, but inconsistency in offensive production, particularly in high-pressure games, poses a significant challenge. To bolster their tournament resume, securing victories against top conference opponents and navigating the Horizon League tournament effectively will be essential.
