Projection: need to automatically qualify
Detroit’s nonconference losses at Notre Dame, Michigan State and DePaul and the tough road trip to Toledo highlighted size and transition issues, and their poor offensive and defensive metrics explain why they lack signature wins. Home games against IUPUI and Niagara are the easiest chances to pile up victories, while conference matchups with Cleveland State, Wright State and Green Bay are the realistic opportunities to build résumé momentum. Given the string of lopsided defeats and very few quality wins, the only reliable path into the national field is winning the Horizon tournament.
