Projection: need to automatically qualify

Louisiana Tech’s profile reads like a team with a legitimate defensive identity but with a resume that lacks the kind of quality wins that calm a selection committee and with several damaging results on the road. The Bulldogs’ strongest showings have come at home, including a bounce-back win over Indiana State and comfortable victories against Jackson State, Alcorn State and in-state Louisiana, but those scalps are offset by a heavy loss at Nevada and road setbacks at Indiana State, Georgia Southern and Tulane that expose offensive inconsistency in hostile environments. The remaining schedule hands them clear chances to change the narrative, most notably a home date with Liberty and difficult trips to league destinations such as MTSU and WKU along with a series of league games that are realistically winnable, so how Louisiana Tech performs in those road tests and the Liberty matchup will determine whether its resume looks tournament-ready or remains the sort that needs an automatic berth to advance.
