Projection: need to automatically qualify

IUPUI's season has been marked by a series of tough matchups and a notably weak defense that has consistently struggled against stronger opponents. Losses to Xavier and Iowa State showcase their challenges when facing better competition, while their victories, such as against Alabama A&M and Wright State, highlight potential but lack the strength of elite wins that could significantly bolster their resume. Additionally, their inability to secure victory over teams like Northern Kentucky and Cleveland State, who are comparable in overall talent within their conference, diminishes their standing as legitimate contenders for at-large consideration. To improve their chances, they must perform well in upcoming conference games and aim to secure a solid finish in the Horizon League, as that might offer them the automatic bid they would need to make the NCAA tournament.
