Projection: need to automatically qualify

Indiana State faces a tough uphill battle for an at-large NCAA tournament bid based on their current resume. With a mixed bag of results this season—including losses to teams ranked above them like Northern Florida and Ohio State—they haven't established a consistent winning trend against quality opponents. Their victory over Murray State stands out, but they’ll need to capitalize on upcoming games against Bradley and Drake to bolster their chances. The narrow margin in several losses suggests they can compete, but they must turn those close games into wins to improve their standing. Key matchups against fellow conference teams like Missouri State and Belmont will be pivotal; success in these could be crucial for any hope of an automatic qualifier or an outside shot at an at-large bid.
