Projection: need to automatically qualify
SIUE's resume raises significant concerns about their chances for an at-large bid, largely due to a lackluster performance against tougher opponents and inconsistent results within their conference. The losses against Indiana and Illinois were expected, but such wide margins highlight the gap in talent. Meanwhile, wins against teams like Indiana State and Ball State provide some positive marks, yet victories over lower-ranked opponents—and a schedule filled with teams ranked 230 and below—make the path to the tournament dubious. The upcoming games against Morehead State and Tennessee Tech are crucial; winning these could bolster their standing, but failing to do so could severely dampen their hopes for an at-large bid, ultimately steering them toward the need for a conference tournament championship to secure a place in the NCAA tournament.
