Projection: need to automatically qualify

Missouri State's current resume is weak, highlighted by losses to teams like Butler and South Dakota State, both of which are critical in shaping perceptions of strength. Their uneven performances, including a convincing win against a lowly ranked Tulsa and struggles against conference peers like Indiana State, exhibit inconsistency that raises concerns. A lack of solid wins against highly ranked opponents diminishes their at-large hopes, as does their mediocre ranking within their own conference. To improve their standing, they must collect victories against teams like Drake and Bradley, enhancing their resume while also aiming for a strong showing in the conference tournament, which is their most realistic path to the NCAA tournament.
