Projection: need to automatically qualify
SIUE’s profile reads like a team that has some resume-building moments but not enough to feel comfortable for an at‑large bid, with solid road victories at UT San Antonio and Drake counterbalanced by a brutal trip to Wisconsin and damaging losses at Indiana State and Western Michigan that undercut its profile. The program has shown it can win away from home in mid‑major settings yet has also dropped too many close league games and failed to produce a neutral‑site signature result, so the cleanest path to the NCAA field runs through winning the Ohio Valley tournament. Upcoming conference dates, including road tests at Morehead State and Southern Indiana and a sequence of winnable home opportunities, give SIUE chances to erase bad results and add resume‑boosting wins, but until those are seized the automatic‑qualifier route is the sensible projection.
