Projection: need to automatically qualify

TN Martin’s resume is shaky and in need of significant improvement to have any hope of making the NCAA tournament, as their favorable matchups in the upcoming schedule do not balance out their early season losses. The close win against Illinois State came against a mid-tier opponent and does not carry enough weight, while losses to North Alabama and Longwood expose weaknesses on both ends of the floor, particularly on offense. Facing Tennessee, a top-tier team, will likely result in another loss, compounding their issues. However, games against Morehead State and Southern Indiana present critical opportunities; winning those could help solidify their standing. Ultimately, without several quality victories, an automatic qualification through the conference is their best pathway to the tournament.
