Projection: need to automatically qualify

Montana State's resume puts them on the edge of the field because the nonconference slate produced several competitive showings at Colorado, Stanford, Boise State and Utah State without delivering a breakthrough signature win, and a home setback to Denver further dents the profile. The program's best moments are an eye-opening road victory at Long Beach State and key conference road wins at Northern Colorado and Montana, while the most damaging stretches include road defeats at Oregon State, Oral Roberts and Portland State and a late skid that featured losses at Weber State and Idaho State. With solid league credentials but limited marquee résumé items and uneven performance away from home, the clearest path for this team to reach the tournament is winning the conference tournament.
