Projection: need to automatically qualify
IL Chicago's resume showcases both potential and pitfalls. Their notable win against Yale indicates they can compete at a higher level, but losses to teams like Northwestern and James Madison highlight a struggle against tougher opponents. With a mixed bag of results against conference rivals, including close battles with Drake and a season split with Missouri State, their ability to establish dominance in the Missouri Valley is questionable. The repeated losses to lower-ranked teams raise significant concerns about consistency. To bolster their standing, they need to dominate in upcoming conference games, particularly against teams like Bradley and Drake, which could be vital for automatic qualification.
