Projection: need to automatically qualify

North Texas’ resume is defined by a stingy defensive identity and a handful of resume-building moments like the neutral win over Loyola-Chicago and the road victory at South Alabama, but those positives are offset by damaging results such as the blowout at St. Mary’s and losses at Memphis and Wichita State that leave little margin for error. A close road game at Oregon State shows the team can compete away from home, yet neutral setbacks at Santa Clara and a nonconference slate heavy on lower-tier opponents mean the resume lacks the signature home-or-neutral victories committees prize. That makes the remaining run of league games against the likes of Memphis at home, visits to Temple and UAB, and home dates with Florida Atlantic and Tulane extremely important; North Texas still has clear opportunities to add meaningful wins, but without them the surest path to the NCAA tournament is to secure the conference’s automatic berth.
