Projection: need to automatically qualify

MS Valley State's resume presents significant challenges for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. With multiple blowout losses against ranked teams like Iowa State and Missouri, they’ve demonstrated a lack of competitive strength in non-conference play. Their best performances seem to come against lower-tier opponents within their conference, as seen in their narrow win over Arkansas Pine Bluff, but the overall lack of quality wins and the heavy losses against teams like LSU and BYU weigh heavily against them. To have any shot at the tournament, they must find a way to secure the automatic qualifier by making a deep run in their conference tournament, as their current performance does not warrant an at-large selection.
