Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)
Oakland’s resume paints a picture of struggle with a challenging non-conference slate that included losses to top-tier teams like Illinois and Kansas, highlighting their vulnerability against high-caliber opponents. The Horizon League games show inconsistency, with narrow victories over teams like Loyola-Chicago and Cleveland State but significant losses to Wright State and Youngstown State that dim their postseason hopes. Their defensive issues, particularly evident in games against stronger teams, exacerbate their standing, while their path to the tournament hinges solely on winning the conference title, as their overall performance lacks the credentials to earn an at-large bid.
