Projection: need to automatically qualify

Northern Kentucky's resume shows a mixed bag of results and an uphill battle for any at-large consideration. The team performed admirably in some matchups, such as their close loss to Florida State and a solid victory over Youngstown State, but their overall record and performance against ranked opponents have been less than stellar, highlighted by significant losses to Purdue and Cincinnati. Their league play has yielded wins against weaker opponents, but the lack of quality victories and several puzzling losses, including one against Robert Morris, hurt their standing. The Horizon League tournament will be their best shot at the NCAA tournament, as they need to win it outright to secure a spot.
