Projection: need to automatically qualify

New Mexico State’s résumé has flashes that suggest NCAA relevance—a neutral-site sweep of mid-major opponents like UC Irvine and Georgia State, a solid home victory over New Mexico and a tough road win at Louisiana Tech—but those highlights are offset by a string of damaging trips and bad losses, from Abilene Christian and Kennesaw on the road to heavy defeats at conference foes WKU and MTSU and tight losses to Liberty, Florida International and Missouri State, and a neutral setback to Tulsa; with that combination of signature moments and troubling blemishes the most reliable way for the Aggies to reach the Big Dance is by taking the automatic spot, making the conference tournament and matchups with Jacksonville State and Sam Houston State their clearest remaining opportunities to change the picture.
