Projection: need to automatically qualify

Indiana State's resume shows a mix of highs and lows, making the path to the NCAA tournament tricky. The team has some solid wins, particularly against Bradley at home, where they emphatically dominated. However, their performance against tough opponents reveals vulnerabilities, especially on defense, as seen in the losses to Arkansas State and Ohio State, where they surrendered a significant number of points. Additionally, consistent defensive struggles culminate in a questionable strength-of-schedule compared to other teams in the bracket conversation. To enhance their standing, they must capitalize on upcoming opportunities within the Missouri Valley Conference, especially against teams like Drake and Murray State, both of whom have shown they can contest at a higher level.
