Projection: need to automatically qualify
Missouri St's resume is defined by modest home wins and a string of damaging road losses that leave its standing precarious. The narrow home victory over Oral Roberts and wins over UTRGV and Lindenwood show the team can close out lesser opponents, but those results are not the kind of signature wins that sway a selection panel. Conversely, lopsided defeats at Tulsa and at Xavier and the surprising loss to Arkansas St at home reveal a vulnerability against stronger competition and a tendency to struggle on the road. The remaining slate includes road dates at Delaware, at WKU and at MTSU and home opportunities against UTEP and Sam Houston St that can supply a meaningful road win and some needed stability, yet the margin for error is thin if Missouri St cannot stop accumulating damaging results away from home.
