Projection: need to automatically qualify
Southern Indiana’s résumé is defined more by ugly losses than by signature victories. Heavy defeats at Butler, South Dakota and Indiana State outweigh a gritty road win at Valparaiso, and tight nonconference setbacks to VMI, Incarnate Word and Illinois Chicago do little to change the perception. The rest of the schedule is dominated by league opponents such as Tennessee Tech, Tennessee State, Eastern Illinois and Western Illinois, so without meaningful road or neutral-site scalps their only clear route to altering a committee’s view is to make noise in the conference tournament.
