Projection: likely out

Murray State’s profile is built on impressive moments like neutral wins over George Washington and Akron and road victories at Valparaiso and Illinois Chicago that prove it can win away from home, but those highs are marred by damaging setbacks such as a heavy loss to Northern Iowa at home and lopsided defeats at SMU and Belmont along with a neutral loss to McNeese State that undermine consistency. The remaining slate — a home meeting with Belmont, road trips to Illinois State and Bradley, and a visit to Evansville — offers clear chances to either repair the resume or leave lingering doubts. Until the Racers take advantage of those opportunities the mix of signature wins and ugly losses keeps them on the outside looking in.
