Projection: need to automatically qualify

MS Valley State's challenges are glaring, with numerous heavy losses against top-tier opponents like Iowa State and Missouri, showcasing a stark inability to compete at that level. Their offensive and defensive rankings reflect a significant struggle, particularly evident in matchups against teams like Liberty and BYU, where they were overwhelmed on both ends of the court. With only a few upcoming games against fellow lower-division teams, their opportunities to bolster their resume are limited. Wins against teams like Alcorn State and Alabama A&M are crucial, but even those outcomes are uncertain, making it clear they will need to rely on winning their conference tournament to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament.
