Projection: need to automatically qualify

Sam Houston State’s chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge on their overall performance in a highly competitive landscape. The team has faced several quality opponents, including tough losses to Baylor and Indiana, which showcase their challenges against elite teams. While their wins against teams like UTEP and Liberty indicate some potential, the inconsistency against mid-tier opponents like Kennesaw State and New Mexico State raises concerns. To strengthen their resume, they’ll need to secure key victories in upcoming games, particularly against higher-ranked teams while also improving their defensive showing, as they've struggled against more potent offenses. Winning crucial matchups in their conference could be the difference between an automatic qualifier spot and missing out on the tournament altogether.
