Projection: need to automatically qualify

Idaho State's résumé points squarely at needing the conference tournament because its nonconference body of work offers almost no marquee neutral wins and is offset by damaging results away from home. A road victory at San Diego is undone by losses at San Diego State, Santa Clara and Utah Valley and by lopsided defeats at Portland State and at Idaho that committees will remember. Conference play has yielded encouraging late wins over Montana and Montana State that show the team can beat the league's best at home but those are tempered by a string of road setbacks that leave the profile light on durable, high‑quality wins away from home. With a home date against Weber State and a trip to Sacramento still on the schedule the team can improve its standing, but the clearest path to the NCAA field runs through capturing the Big Sky’s automatic berth.
