Projection: need to automatically qualify

Texas Southern’s résumé is defined by solid control of its league schedule but badly damaged by a string of true road drubbings and a few nonconference setbacks that exposed defensive fragility. The program’s best moments are its conference road wins and home holds against familiar SWAC foes like Alcorn State, Jackson State and Grambling that show it can win the games the committee expects of a league leader. Its worst moments are the lopsided losses away at Gonzaga, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt and the tight defeat to Samford that underline a gap with power conference competition and leave little margin for error. What remains matters: home dates against Arkansas Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State and the conference slate give clear chances to clean up the résumé while road trips to Minnesota and NC State offer the rare opportunity to add a signature win but also carry significant risk, so protecting home court and stealing meaningful road victories are the clearest paths to erase the early damage.
