Projection: need to automatically qualify
Incarnate Word’s résumé is marked by a handful of clear highs and damaging lows. A home victory over McNeese St and a neutral-site win over Southern Indiana show the program can beat respectable opponents, but heavy road losses at Colorado St and at Indiana along with narrow defeats at New Orleans and Nicholls St reveal inconsistency away from campus. Nonconference work showed scheduling ambition with a competitive trip to TCU, yet those power-conference tests produced results that will be viewed as costly without offsetting success on the road or at neutral sites. With most of the Southland slate still ahead, including road dates at UTRGV, Lamar, SF Austin and McNeese St and league home opportunities against Nicholls St, New Orleans and SE Louisiana, the path forward is simple: collect meaningful away or neutral wins and carry that momentum into the league tournament to repair the résumé.
