Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ohio has had an interesting season with some notable ups and downs, reflecting a degree of inconsistency that makes their NCAA tournament chances hinge heavily on an automatic bid via winning their conference tournament. Their ability to handle business against lower-ranked opponents is clear, yet struggles with teams ranked higher, such as losses to Cleveland State and Toledo, highlight an inability to consistently punch above their weight. While their late-season victories over Akron and Kent are commendable, these wins are counterbalanced by earlier losses to teams like Youngstown State and Austin Peay. The lack of signature wins against top-tier opposition leaves this team without a strong at-large resume, necessitating a strong finish in the conference tournament to book their ticket to the Big Dance.
