Projection: need to automatically qualify

Morehead State's body of work simply lacks the kind of road or neutral signature win that gets a team an at-large look while a string of lopsided losses away at Wake Forest, Georgia, Clemson and Murray State and disappointing defeats at IUPUI, Presbyterian and Lindenwood have inflicted real damage. The season’s brightest moments—a neutral-site victory at ULM and a handful of tight conference wins, including at SIUE and against Eastern Illinois—show the team can close games but they do not replace the absence of a marquee triumph away from home. With remaining opportunities mostly confined to winnable league dates at home and a tricky trip to Arkansas Little Rock, the clearest path to the NCAA tournament is winning the Ohio Valley Conference’s automatic berth; the remaining schedule can build momentum, but it offers limited upside for an at-large argument.
