Projection: need to automatically qualify

TAM C. Christi's profile makes a clear case for needing the Southland's automatic berth because its nonconference slate featured tough road trips to Kansas, SMU, Oklahoma State and Xavier that produced losses and left the resume without a marquee victory to counter damaging home setbacks to Nicholls State and UTRGV. The team's best evidence is a neutral-site triumph over New Orleans and road wins at Incarnate Word and Houston Christian that show it can win away from home against lesser opposition, but those wins lack the quality the committee looks for. Repeated losses to McNeese State and close defeats at SF Austin highlight inconsistency inside the league, and with no signature win over a high-major, the only realistic path to the NCAA field runs through winning the conference tournament.
