Projection: need to automatically qualify

The team’s chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge largely on their performance in the Horizon League, given the weak overall resume highlighted by poor results against both stronger and similarly ranked opponents. Losses to Loyola-Chicago and Wake Forest exposed significant gaps, especially in defensive play, while the uneven offense has struggled against tougher defenses, as seen in the defeats to Wisconsin and Toledo. The best chance for improvement lies in winning crucial league matchups and performing well in the conference tournament, particularly against teams like Wright State and Northern Kentucky, who present opportunities to boost their standing significantly. Wins against these opponents would not only enhance their record but also provide valuable momentum heading into the postseason.
