Projection: need to automatically qualify

Evansville's resume has significant flaws that hinder its chances of earning an at-large bid. The team's non-conference performance is particularly concerning, with losses to opponents like North Texas and Ohio State by substantial margins, highlighting struggles against high-caliber teams. Their offensive struggles are evident in multiple matchups, including the recent losses against strong teams such as Drake and Indiana State. Although they've secured some solid conference wins, particularly against Murray State and Belmont, the lack of a strong overall record paired with a low ranking in both offensive and defensive categories raises red flags. To improve their standing, they must capitalize on their remaining conference games, especially against teams like Illinois State and Drake, where victories would enhance their profile and potentially secure an automatic tournament spot.
