Projection: need to automatically qualify

Lindenwood's resume is a study in contrast. Road victories at Northern Illinois and Eastern Illinois and a neutral-site win over Charleston Southern prove the team can win outside its arena, but those bright spots are overshadowed by brutal losses on the road at Texas Tech, St. Louis and Indiana that will draw committee scrutiny. Conference play has produced solid regional victories tempered by close setbacks to SIUE and Missouri State, which underline inconsistency rather than a résumé built on quality scalps. A run of conference games remaining against Tennessee Martin, Southeast Missouri State, Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, Eastern Illinois and Western Illinois gives Lindenwood the chance to erase the damage, because only a stretch of strong road and neutral results will convert those midseason flashes into a credible at-large profile. Until that happens the clearest path to the tournament is to secure the conference's automatic berth.
