Projection: need to automatically qualify

Southern Indiana faces a challenging road to the NCAA tournament, with an overall record that highlights struggles in both offense and defense against varying competition. The heartbreakers against DePaul and Bucknell show the team can compete, but they need to convert close games into wins. The upcoming matchups will be crucial, especially against Indiana State and Tennessee State, where victories are essential not just for confidence but also for bolstering their credentials within the Ohio Valley Conference. The tendency to lose against higher-ranked opponents, as seen in the games against Marshall and PFW, puts added pressure on these crucial in-conference battles, where they’ll need to demonstrate consistent improvement to secure an automatic entry into the tournament.
