Projection: need to automatically qualify
MS Valley St is firmly dependent on a conference title because its few bright moments are narrow conference wins such as a home victory over TX Southern and a road triumph at Ark Pine Bluff while its résumé is overwhelmed by blowout losses on the road at power programs like UAB, Murray State, Texas A&M, Kansas State, Florida State, West Virginia and Oklahoma and by neutral-site setbacks to Utah Tech and Manhattan. Without a meaningful road or neutral victory over a quality opponent the committee will view a résumé built almost entirely on low-end conference results and the only realistic path to the bracket is to capture the automatic spot.
