TAM C. Christi’s profile reads like a team that challenged itself early and now must make the most of conference play to repair a résumé that has flashes but few headline wins. The Islanders took tough road trips to SMU and Tarleton State and paid the price in brutal outings at Kansas, Oklahoma State and Xavier, while the lone eye-catching result came on the road at Lamar and a few competitive showings away from home that suggest defensive tenacity can hang with better opposition. The remaining slate features winnable home dates against Nicholls State and New Orleans and manageable matchups with Houston Christian and Lamar that are the kind of opportunities a committee watches closely, but looming road tests at McNeese State and Incarnate Word are the moments that will define whether those conference victories carry weight. In short, the defense keeps the Islanders in enough games to stay relevant, yet without more resume-building wins away from home the margin for error in league play is razor thin.
