Projection: likely out

N Dakota St's season has been a mixed bag, showing flashes of potential but ultimately struggling in key matchups. Notably, they scored a solid win against Santa Clara, which suggests they can compete with stronger opponents. However, losses to Illinois St and S Illinois highlight their inconsistent performance against teams that are either similarly ranked or weaker, particularly the blowout loss to S Illinois. With their defensive rankings, which leave much to be desired, they could face challenges in high-stakes games, especially against Summit League rivals like S Dakota St. Moving forward, they need to capitalize on favorable matchups, like their games against Oral Roberts and Denver, to solidify their tournament hopes. Their future games could drastically shape their standing, but as it stands, their resume lacks the strength needed for serious tournament consideration.
