Projection: need to automatically qualify

Detroit's current standing is far from secure, and they face significant challenges ahead. The loss to Loyola-Chicago is particularly damaging, as the Ramblers are a team in the middle tier of rankings, reflecting that Detroit struggles against even modest competition. While the win against Niagara was a step in the right direction, the overall trend shows a shaky defense, which was exposed against Toledo and Loyola-Chicago. To bolster their resume, they will need to take advantage of upcoming home games against teams like Robert Morris and Milwaukee, where their chances to secure wins are more favorable. The match against Wright State will be pivotal, as both teams are in the same conference and competing for potential postseason spots. A poor showing against any of these opponents could severely diminish their chances to make a mark in the tournament.
