Projection: need to automatically qualify

Houston Christian’s profile reads like a team that cannot afford an at-large gamble because its best moment came on the road at New Orleans while its résumé is littered with lop-sided defeats away from home and disappointing home losses to McNeese State and Stephen F. Austin that neutralize wins over lesser opponents. Losses in true road games at places such as UC San Diego, Georgia Southern, North Texas and a trip to Iowa State expose the program’s struggles outside its building and leave little in the way of signature victories that sway the selection committee. Given that combination of weak quality wins, damaging losses and few neutral site statements, the clearest path to the tournament is securing the Southland automatic berth.
