Projection: need to automatically qualify

Kent’s profile shows a team that can win away from home and on neutral floors, with neutral-site victories over Cleveland State and Wright State and road wins at Buffalo and Bowling Green that demonstrate resilience, but it lacks a signature résumé maker and carries a lopsided setback at Purdue plus a damaging road defeat at Akron that keep the committee wary. The offense has produced enough to pile up wins while the defense has been uneven, which means Kent beats the teams it should but still struggles to silence top opponents. Remaining games, including a home date with Central Michigan, a home meeting with Akron, a road trip to Northern Illinois and a home finish against Western Michigan, give the program clear opportunities to erase bad losses and add a marquee result. Until one of those chances yields a standout win, the safest path for Kent to the NCAA tournament runs through the conference title.
