Projection: need to automatically qualify

A brutal nonconference slate defined the resume: long road trips to Gonzaga, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, NC State and Minnesota resulted in lopsided losses and left no marquee victory to sell to a committee. The handful of brighter moments — a tight game with Samford and a competitive outing against Abilene Christian plus a closer road showing at Southern University — are useful but they’re overwhelmed by poor results away from home at power-conference sites and the absence of a neutral-site signature win. The remaining schedule offers routine chances to collect conference victories at home against Arkansas–Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State and road opportunities at Alcorn State and Jackson State, yet those matchups are unlikely to replace the missing quality wins unless an upset occurs. Given the combination of damaging road losses, scarce résumé builders, and a conference slate that mostly presents low-profile opportunities, their postseason hopes will hinge heavily on performance in the league tournament.
