Projection: need to automatically qualify

SE Louisiana’s resume is defined more by missed chances than by signature wins, with its few neutral-site victories over Gardner-Webb and Navy and a road triumph at Houston Christian providing bright spots that are nevertheless overwhelmed by one-sided losses at Mississippi and at LSU and by recurrent conference road defeats at McNeese State, at SF Austin, at Lamar and at Nicholls State that expose a team that struggles away from home. The quality of those setbacks matters because they erase much of the value of home wins and thin the nonconference ledger, so unless the Lions can add a meaningful neutral or road victory their standing will come down to their conference fate. Winning the Southland tournament is the clearest path to the NCAA field given the combination of few resume-building wins and several damaging losses.
