Projection: need to automatically qualify

North Dakota’s profile explains the projection: brutal setbacks on the road at Alabama, Creighton and Nebraska are exactly the kind of losses that weigh heavily against at-large consideration, while a neutral-site win over Denver and true road victories at Oral Roberts and Missouri KC show the team can win away from home but are not enough to erase those bad results. The best moments are those tough road wins and a handful of solid conference victories that demonstrate resiliency, the worst moments are the lopsided defeats that expose defensive fragility in high-level tests, and because the nonconference ledger lacks a marquee scalp the only clear path to the NCAA field runs through winning the Summit League’s automatic berth.
