Projection: need to automatically qualify

Mississippi Valley State has faced a veritable gauntlet of higher-tier opponents in non-conference play that would test any team, notably taking on powerhouses like Connecticut, Gonzaga, and Baylor. Despite the daunting schedule, lessons from these encounters haven't translated to success within their own conference, as evidenced by the outcomes against fellow Southwestern Athletic Conference members like Texas Southern and Prairie View. The Delta Devils' sole win against Prairie View hints at potential that has been otherwise clouded by a tough season. If they're hoping to make noise in the NCAA tournament, their path is clear: they need to ambush their conference tournament and snatch that automatic bid, as their regular season performance and challenges defending and scoring against quality oppositions have made an at-large bid an impossibility.
