Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ohio's season has been marked by inconsistency, particularly in non-conference play, where losses to mid-tier teams like James Madison and Memphis highlighted defensive vulnerabilities that contributed to several defeats. Their lack of quality wins is concerning, with the best victories coming against teams like Morehead State and Akron, both of which are not considered top-tier opponents. With a defense struggling to contain opponents, Ohio faces an uphill battle in the Mid-American Conference, where securing a conference tournament title may be their most reliable path to the NCAA tournament. Upcoming games against teams like Miami and Eastern Michigan are critical; winning these contests could bolster their position, while losses would further diminish their fragile resume.
