Projection: need to automatically qualify

Detroit’s resume indicates a challenging path ahead, with significant struggles reflected in their defense and inconsistent performances. Their losses to Loyola-Chicago and Wake Forest, both by double digits, showcase how elevated competition can expose weaknesses, particularly defensively. Victories over teams like Niagara and PFW provide slight respite, but those opponents lack the muscle needed to bolster Detroit's standing meaningfully. Looking ahead, opportunities to improve their tournament hopes hinge on capturing wins against teams like Oakland and supporting a strong finish against IUPUI and Youngstown State. However, they'll need to tread carefully as multiple upcoming matchups against struggling teams could also lead to disappointing results if they aren't turned into convincing victories.
