Projection: need to automatically qualify

Kent’s resume has enough high points to intrigue the committee while leaving the bigger questions unresolved. The Flashes collected meaningful wins away from home and on neutral courts against the likes of Cornell, UNC Wilmington, Buffalo, Toledo, Wright State and Cleveland State, which demonstrates they can grind out victories outside their building, but the profile is weakened by ugly trips to Purdue and Akron and by a handful of puzzling setbacks that expose defensive inconsistencies. With a body of work that mixes solid road and neutral results with damaging defeats, their clearest path into the NCAA tournament runs through winning the conference tournament and removing any lingering doubt on a neutral floor.
