Projection: need to automatically qualify
Missouri State faces a challenging path ahead. Their lack of early-season success puts them in a precarious spot, and a loss to Butler highlights issues, especially considering their offensive struggles. While the offensive power shown in wins over Tulsa and UT Arlington shows potential, their defensive performance remains a significant concern. Upcoming games, like the one against High Point, provide critical opportunities to bolster their resume. Wins against conference opponents like Northern Iowa and Illinois State will also be crucial, as those matchups can elevate their profile considerably. Their chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge on not just winning but doing so convincingly against lesser-ranked teams.
