Projection: need to automatically qualify

Missouri State's current resume raises significant concerns for an NCAA tournament at-large bid. While they have achieved some wins, such as a solid victory against UC Santa Barbara, the team is haunted by a series of losses against both higher and lower-ranked opponents, including disappointing performances against Butler and Indiana State. Their inability to secure wins against teams like Drake and S Illinois, coupled with a weak offensive ranking and inconsistent defensive play, creates an uphill battle. With only a slim chance against Belmont and a tougher matchup ahead at Drake, Missouri State must rely on automatic qualification through their conference tournament to have a shot at the NCAA tournament.
