Projection: need to automatically qualify

TX Southern’s nonconference body of work makes it clear that its only realistic path to the NCAA field runs through the Southwestern AC automatic berth because the schedule features a string of painful road defeats at power programs like Gonzaga, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Minnesota and NC State that overwhelm a résumé built mostly on wins over league and low‑major opponents such as Mississippi Valley State, Alcorn State and Alabama A&M. The team’s best moments are a few firm home wins and a gutsy road victory at Alcorn State that show it can close out winnable games, and its worst moments are those lopsided losses away at blue‑blood and power conference sites that will be judged harshly by any committee. With no signature neutral‑site victory to erase those blemishes, the remaining realistic opportunities to change the picture come inside the league: they need to win the conference tournament to transform this profile into an automatic qualifier.
