Projection: need to automatically qualify

IUPUI's resume is notably weak at this stage, with an embarrassing overall record and a difficult start against higher-ranked opponents like Xavier and Iowa State, both of which highlighted significant gaps in their defense. Their offense struggles against higher-tier competition as evidenced by the heavy losses, leaving little room for optimism. Upcoming games against teams like Youngstown State and Wisconsin-Green Bay present crucial opportunities; however, their low chances of winning against several fellow Horizon League foes could put them at risk of digging an even deeper hole. To have any shot at a reasonable tournament bid, they must significantly improve their performance in conference play while also hoping for a few signature wins. Otherwise, their path to the NCAA tournament will likely require them to secure the automatic qualification by winning the Horizon League tournament.
