Projection: need to automatically qualify

Morehead State's resume supports the view that the team needs to secure the Ohio Valley's automatic berth because its profile pairs some useful road and neutral-site wins with a string of damaging losses away from home. The neutral victory at ULM and road wins at Arkansas Little Rock plus hard-fought conference victories over Southern Indiana, Western Illinois and Eastern Illinois show the team can win in hostile settings, yet lopsided defeats at Wake Forest, Georgia, Clemson and Murray State expose a shortfall against stronger nonconference opposition. Additional setbacks on the road at IUPUI, Lindenwood and Tennessee State further blunt the committee's appetite to hand an at-large bid. Absent a definitive signature win away from home, the surest path into the NCAA field runs through a deep run in the Ohio Valley postseason tournament.
