Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ohio's resume is far from impressive, highlighted by a troubling mix of wins against lower-tier opponents and losses to teams that aren't top-tier themselves. The defeat against James Madison and the close losses to Illinois State and Toledo point to a troubling defensive frailty that has been exploited too often, while the few wins against the likes of Akron and Northern Illinois, who reside at the bottom of the rankings, lack the quality needed to boost tournament credentials. As they approach the latter part of their season, Ohio must capitalize on every opportunity to prevent further slip-ups, especially in must-win matchups against stronger teams in the Mid-American Conference and any potential conference tournament foes, which will be critical for an automatic qualifier spot.
