Projection: need to automatically qualify

Southern Indiana's path to an NCAA tournament berth appears quite challenging given their overall performance this season. They’ve faced a mix of competitors with mixed results, highlighted by narrow losses to teams like DePaul and Marshall, but these matchups highlight their struggles against higher competition. Their most impressive victories have come against lower-tier opponents, such as Bellarmine and Lindenwood, but consistency has been elusive, evidenced by losses to similar or slightly better teams like South Dakota and Tennessee Martin. With upcoming games against teams like SE Missouri State and Eastern Illinois, the opportunity exists to bolster their resume, but the need for significant improvement on both offense and defense is clear. A strong finish to the season, particularly through OVC play, is essential to secure an automatic qualifying spot, considering how sparse their notable wins are thus far.
