Projection: need to automatically qualify
East Michigan is facing an uphill battle to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament. Their overall record reveals inconsistencies and struggles, particularly highlighted by high-scoring losses to teams like Akron and PFW, which expose significant defensive weaknesses. While the victory against Wright State showcased their offensive potential, the combination of close wins against lower-ranked opponents and several lopsided losses raises concerns. Upcoming games against mid-tier teams like Ohio and Kent will be pivotal; they must secure wins to bolster their resume and avoid further damaging losses. The reliance on automatic qualification through the Mid-American Conference tournament appears to be their most viable path at this time.
