Projection: likely out

MTSU's chances for a tournament bid look slim due to a reliance on weaker competition and inconsistency in performances. Their victories over teams like Abilene Christian and Evansville are solid, but the losses to tougher opponents such as Murray State and Bradley reveal vulnerabilities. Moreover, their defensive and offensive rankings indicate struggles in both areas, especially against high-caliber teams, as seen in the game against Tennessee, where they faltered significantly. To improve their standing, MTSU would need to secure more wins against upper-tier opponents in Conference USA, particularly in rematches against teams like Liberty and New Mexico State, which will be crucial in validating their resume for any potential postseason consideration.
