Projection: need to automatically qualify

The projection that Nebraska Omaha is likely to need the Summit League automatic bid follows from a resume that pairs respectable true road wins at Portland State, Lamar and Oral Roberts and a neutral victory over Southern Utah with damaging blowouts on the road at Colorado State, LSU and Oregon and painful neutral and home losses to Murray State, James Madison and Florida International. Those poor results swamp the value of wins over lesser conference opposition and leave the Mavericks without a clear signature victory away from home or on a neutral court to make a persuasive at-large case. With the remainder of the schedule featuring trips to South Dakota State, North Dakota and North Dakota State and home chances against Denver, St Thomas Minnesota and Oral Roberts, Omaha’s path to the NCAA field runs through sweeping its league opportunities or earning the automatic qualifier in the conference tournament.
