Projection: need to automatically qualify

St. Thomas’ profile balances a few resume-building results with a string of damaging setbacks, and that mix explains the current placement. The team has shown it can win away from home with victories at Portland and Southeast Missouri State and it picked up a solid neutral-site win over Northern Colorado while posting a statement home win against Weber State. Those positives are countered by moments that expose defensive inconsistency, most visibly in the blowout at St. Mary’s and tough road losses at Washington State and Montana State plus a neutral setback to Cal State Fullerton. The Summit slate still offers clear chances to add meaningful wins in trips to the Dakotas and through games against Denver, Oral Roberts and UNC Asheville, but until St. Thomas shores up the defensive lapses and produces another signature road or neutral victory the résumé will read like a mid-major with upside rather than a finished tournament résumé.
