Projection: need to automatically qualify
Oral Roberts is in a tough position given their early season record and lack of quality wins. The losses against Minnesota and Tulsa showed significant defensive struggles, which are hard to overlook when projecting an NCAA berth. Additionally, facing tough opponents like Mississippi and Texas Tech will be critical to their resume. They must not only win games against North Dakota and Missouri State, whom they have a fair chance against, but also pull off upsets against higher-ranked teams to gain visibility and improve their standing in the Summit League. The potential matchups later in the season against South Dakota and Northern Arizona will be pivotal; performing well in these contests could enhance their chances for an automatic bid.
