Projection: likely out
MTSU's path to the NCAA tournament looks challenging based on their current profile. They’ve racked up wins against weaker competition, like their victory over Abilene Christian, but the losses to stronger teams such as Murray State and Bradley highlight a lack of quality wins. Their offensive efficiency is low, which poses a significant problem when facing tougher opponents. Upcoming games against teams like Liberty and WKU present crucial opportunities for signature wins, but with a mixed bag of expected outcomes, the margin for error is slim. If they can secure victory in these high-stakes matchups, they may strengthen their resume; otherwise, it's likely they'll end up on the outside looking in come tournament time.
