Projection: need to automatically qualify

Having examined the full itinerary of Kent's season, it's clear that they've been tussling with inconsistency. Their performances against marquee opposition such as James Madison, Saint Mary's, and Oregon showcased fight, especially in the nail-biter against James Madison, but ultimately ended in defeat. Victories against middling teams like Fresno State and South Dakota State prove they can battle, but losses to Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan reveal vulnerabilities. This inconsistency will make it tough to earn an at-large bid. Going forward, dominating their conference tourney isn't just a nice-to-have—it's a must-to-avoid missing the Big Dance. Kent's squad will need to channel their moxie from wins like the one over Akron and stay sharp, as their path will likely be defined by how they fare in high-stakes, win-or-go-home scenarios.
