Projection: need to automatically qualify

Indiana State’s projection to need the automatic bid follows from a résumé that includes a marquee home win over Belmont but is undercut by a blowout at Duke and a string of damaging road defeats that leave little evidence of the kind of road or neutral success committees reward; losses to Charlotte and Alcorn State further weaken the nonconference body of work, and with only a handful of home opportunities left against conference foes and a difficult trip to Belmont on the docket the surest path back to the NCAA Tournament is winning the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.
