Projection: need to automatically qualify

SIUE faces an uphill battle for NCAA tournament consideration. Their non-conference losses to top-tier programs like Indiana and Illinois highlight a struggle to compete against higher-ranked opponents, while a lack of quality wins diminishes their overall profile. The victory against North Florida, although a solid performance, isn't enough to make a significant impact. With upcoming games against teams like SEMO and Tennessee Tech, they have opportunities to bolster their resume, but consistency is key—especially against lower-ranked conference rivals. If they can string together a series of wins in the OVC, they might just find themselves in a position to contend for an automatic bid.
