Projection: need to automatically qualify
Lindenwood’s resume makes clear why the most reliable path to the tournament runs through the Ohio Valley’s automatic berth: brutal road defeats at Texas Tech and St. Louis and a loss at Indiana reveal a gap versus top competition, while the neutral win over Charleston So and road victories at Northern Illinois and Eastern Illinois are the program’s best evidence that it can win away from home. A surprising stumble at Alabama A&M and conference setbacks to SIUE and Arkansas Little Rock dilute those positives and leave the body of work short on a marquee signature win a selection committee looks for. The remaining tests at Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech plus games with Eastern Illinois and at Western Illinois are chances to pile up résumé wins but none promises to flip Lindenwood into serious at‑large consideration, so the conference tournament looms as the decisive opportunity.
