Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)
Oakland's season has been a struggle, particularly against high-level competition where they failed to stay competitive in matchups against ranked teams like Kansas and Illinois, losing by substantial margins. Their inconsistency is evident, as they have a troubling record against lower-tier opponents, including losses to Eastern Michigan and Robert Morris. While they have secured a few wins within the Horizon Conference, their overall performance lacks depth, highlighted by a poor offensive efficiency that limits their chances for strong postseason contention. To improve their standing, winning out in the conference regular season and making a deep run in the Horizon League tournament is essential, as these opportunities against subpar teams can help bolster their credentials. However, the odds against them in tough matchups, like the upcoming games against PFW and Wright State, will test their resolve further.
