Projection: need to automatically qualify

TAM C. Christi has flashed the pieces of a conference contender with gritty road wins at UTRGV, Incarnate Word and Nicholls and a defense that has kept it in games, but its résumé is marred by blowouts at major opponents on the road at Kansas, SMU, Xavier and Oklahoma State and by a damaging home loss to McNeese State that leaves it short on signature victories. The offense has been uneven enough that without a neutral-site win over a quality nonconference foe or a marquee road upset the practical route to the NCAA field runs through winning the Southland tournament. Upcoming tests at McNeese State and at SE Louisiana and a home date with SF Austin are the last clear chances to prove the team can beat the league’s best away from home and flip that trajectory.
