Projection: need to automatically qualify

East Michigan's performance this season has been a rollercoaster, showcasing both flashes of competitiveness and significant struggles. The signature wins against teams like Ohio and Toledo highlight their offensive potential, yet losses to Akron and Loyola-Chicago expose glaring defensive weaknesses that are hard to overlook. The defeat against Detroit, a team ranked at a lower tier, further complicates their standing, revealing inconsistencies that could jeopardize their chances of postseason play. Upcoming games against teams like Central Michigan and Bowling Green represent critical opportunities; wins in these matches are essential not just for morale but to firm up their tournament resume and avoid the necessity of relying on an automatic qualification scenario.
