Projection: need to automatically qualify
Tennessee Martin’s résumé reads like a team with some bright moments but not enough sustained, high-end road and neutral success to comfortably earn an at-large ticket, because the nonconference window included road tests at UNLV and Bradley and a neutral meeting with Prairie View that could serve as signature moments while trips to Southern Illinois and a string of difficult league matchups against the likes of Tennessee State, Southeast Missouri State, Morehead State, Arkansas Little Rock and Lindenwood have the potential to undercut that narrative; with late neutral dates against Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State standing as the final chances to change perception, the clearest and most realistic path to the NCAA field runs through winning the conference’s automatic berth.
