Projection: need to automatically qualify
Detroit's season has been undeniably tough. In marquee matchups where they could have turned heads, such as against high-caliber out-of-conference opponents like Cincinnati and Mississippi, they failed to secure victories. Even in contests that could have been more evenly matched, Detroit came up short against conference rivals like Oakland and Youngstown State. Their sole win against IUPUI does little to buoy their chances. On both ends of the floor, the team has struggled to find consistency and effectiveness, which is reflected in their inability to stop teams like Robert Morris and Cleveland State from putting up strong numbers against them or to keep up with the offensive firepower of teams like NC State and Northwestern. The path forward for Detroit hinges exclusively on clinching their conference tournament, as their regular season performance doesn't provide a compelling argument for an at-large bid in the Big Dance.
