Projection: need to automatically qualify

Oral Roberts presents a resume marked by dangerous lows and a handful of modest highs, and that mix explains the committee’s posture. The neutral-site victory over Kennesaw is the program’s clearest positive and shows it can win in a tournament atmosphere, and tight games against Tulsa and at FGCU suggest competitiveness, but those moments are overwhelmed by heavy setbacks at Oklahoma State and at Oklahoma and a lopsided road loss at Weber State that will be seen as damaging on a national scale. Success away from home has been scarce, so the upcoming league stretch and the road tests at Missouri State and against TCU along with home opportunities against Summit opponents and Missouri Kansas City are the chances that must turn into solid wins if the résumé is to shed its reliance on close results and avoid being defined by the bad losses.
