Projection: need to automatically qualify

Eastern Michigan’s résumé hinges on a single standout road victory at Cincinnati and a handful of wins over downticket opponents like Oakland and NJIT, but that upside is erased by several ugly results away from home — most notably the rout at Louisville and the lopsided loss at Central Michigan — plus a string of league setbacks that includes splits with Massachusetts and defeats to Akron. The team’s defense has shown moments of steadiness while the offense has been inconsistent, and they have few neutral‑site or marquee résumé bolsters to counterbalance bad losses and subpar road showings. Given the lack of signature wins and the damaging nature of those defeats, the clearest and most realistic path to the NCAA field is to secure the Mid‑American tournament title.
