Projection: need to automatically qualify

Incarnate Word’s résumé reads like a team that can compete but currently cannot rely on the committee’s favor without winning its conference, because it features a few encouraging moments—competitive road showings at Indiana and TCU and the home victory over McNeese State plus solid nonconference wins against Northern Arizona and Houston Christian—but is offset by damaging results such as the lopsided loss at Colorado State and a string of setbacks at league road sites including Nicholls State, New Orleans and Stephen F. Austin that erode its profile. Remaining games offer mixed opportunity with several winnable home dates against familiar league foes and meaningful chances to rewrite the ledger on the road at McNeese State and SE Louisiana, yet those same road tests and a sketchy away record mean the team will need a conference tournament title to erase its blemishes and secure an NCAA spot.
