Projection: need to automatically qualify

Missouri KC’s résumé is the sort that makes an at‑large berth a long shot and an automatic conference berth the realistic path to the big dance. A road victory at Nebraska Omaha and a tight home game with Weber State plus a narrow loss at North Dakota show the roster can compete, but those positives are erased by brutal road defeats at Texas and TCU and lopsided losses at Oklahoma and Oklahoma State that underline a persistent inability to win away from quality opposition. Nonconference setbacks at Iona and Southern Illinois and mixed results against midmajor opponents have left the best wins shallow and the bad losses heavy, so the remaining slate — home dates with Nebraska Omaha and Denver, road tests at St Thomas and Oral Roberts, and key conference matchups with South Dakota and North Dakota State — are meaningful opportunities to rebuild the resume yet unlikely to remove the damage without a deep run to the conference crown.
