Projection: need to automatically qualify

East Texas A&M needs to win the conference tournament because a nonconference slate marked by road losses at New Mexico, Hawaii, Connecticut and Texas A&M and a heavy defeat at McNeese State has overwhelmed the resumeā€™s limited quality moments. Their clearest positives are a neutral-site victory over Army and road wins at F Dickinson and Incarnate Word along with home victories over Central Arkansas and UTRGV, but those wins came against modest opposition and do little to erase the damaging losses and home setbacks to SF Austin and Lamar. With the back half of the schedule still featuring difficult road tests at SF Austin and McNeese State plus a string of conference games against Nicholls State, New Orleans, SE Louisiana, Northwestern Louisiana and Houston Christian there are opportunities to improve the profile but the most dependable path to the NCAA tournament runs through claiming the conferenceā€™s automatic bid.
