Projection: need to automatically qualify

SE Missouri State's resume shows significant weaknesses, particularly in their offensive and defensive rankings, which are well below the average for teams vying for an NCAA tournament spot. Their losses to teams like Bradley and Vanderbilt highlight a lack of success against higher-tier opponents, exposing a struggle to compete at a more elite level. While they have secured some victories against lower-ranked squads like Missouri-KC and Cent Arkansas, the overall performance against mid-major peers and their inability to secure quality wins in tougher matchups present a troubling outlook. Upcoming games against Tennessee State and Morehead State will be crucial; winning those could bolster their case for an automatic qualifier, but failure to capitalize on these opportunities will likely solidify their path towards missing the tournament.
