Projection: need to automatically qualify
Ohio's current season presents a challenging path to the NCAA tournament, primarily due to their mixed performance against both comparable and stronger opponents. Losses to James Madison and Memphis highlighted defensive struggles, especially considering Memphis’s offensive prowess. While they secured victories against lower-ranked teams like Robert Morris and Buffalo, the narrow win against Central Michigan showcases a dependence on offensive firepower, which might not hold up against tougher competition. Upcoming games against Kent and Toledo are pivotal; wins would bolster their resume significantly, but further losses could seal their fate, narrowing their chance for qualification to a conference championship path.
