Projection: need to automatically qualify

Indiana State’s résumé is a study in contrast: a resume-building road victory at SIUE and a solid home win over Louisiana Tech sit alongside a brutal road loss at Duke and a neutral-site setback at Alcorn State, so the good results are undermined by a couple of damaging defeats. The Sycamores have shown they can win at home and in mid-major settings while an up-and-down offense and a defense that keeps them in games have produced streaky outcomes. The rest of the slate offers clear chances to alter the narrative with true road tests at Illinois State, Northern Iowa, Drake and Murray State and important home matchups against Belmont and conference rivals, so success away from campus and in those marquee spots is the path to repairing the profile while continued bad results on the road will leave the resume short on top-tier wins.
