Projection: need to automatically qualify

Missouri KC’s profile gives the selection committee little reason to consider an at-large spot because its best moment is a lone road victory at NE Omaha while the resume is otherwise defined by lopsided losses at major nonconference venues such as Texas and TCU and rough road showings at places like St Thomas and Oral Roberts, with only modest home results and narrow defeats against teams like Weber State and Idaho State to show for the season. Conference play failed to erase those bad impressions as losses both away and at home against Summit League opponents left the team without any signature neutral or road triumphs, so there is no substantive evidence of sustained success outside of its arena. Given that profile the only viable route to the NCAA field is a run through the conference tournament to earn the league’s automatic spot.
