Projection: likely out
MTSU's current standing is a concern due to the overall weak strength of their early-season opponents and a tough loss to Murray State, which is likely to linger in selectors' minds. While they secured victories against Abilene Christian and Evansville, those teams are among the lower tier, lacking the impact to boost MTSU's resume. Moving forward, games against teams like Liberty and UAB will be crucial; winning those could enhance their credibility significantly. However, a scheduled game against a top-tier team like Tennessee poses a substantial risk that could further hinder their tournament hopes if they can't keep it competitive.
