Projection: need to automatically qualify
Sam Houston State's early season performance raises significant concerns regarding their NCAA tournament prospects. Their inability to secure wins against stronger opponents like Nevada and Baylor highlights vulnerabilities, particularly on defense, where they’ve struggled against higher-level competition. While their offense has shown capabilities, especially with a strong performance against Tarleton State, consistency is key. Upcoming games against teams like Liberty and Indiana present pivotal challenges; a failure to win these could severely diminish any chances at an at-large bid. Achieving success in their conference with games against New Mexico State and Florida International will be crucial for maintaining any hopes of qualifying automatically.
