Projection: likely out

MTSU's resume presents a mixed bag that ultimately points to a challenging path to the NCAA tournament. While they have secured several wins against lower-ranked opponents, their inability to consistently defeat teams within the upper echelons, like Liberty and Tennessee, raises concerns. Losses to teams such as Murray State and Bradley demonstrate vulnerabilities, particularly on defense, as they struggle against stronger offensive units. Their victories against Kennesaw State and UAB provide some redeeming qualities, but a lack of signature wins could keep them on the outside looking in as the season progresses. Upcoming games will be critical; any missteps against mid-tier teams could severely hamper their standing, while a solid performance in their next matchups could offer a glimmer of hope.
