Projection: need to automatically qualify

Tennessee State's path to the NCAA Tournament is hampered by a weak overall performance and a challenging non-conference schedule that yielded no significant wins. Losses to Colorado State and Wyoming, both of which are above-average teams, show the difficulties faced when stepping up in competition. They managed to secure wins against lower-tier opponents like Alabama A&M and Western Illinois, but these victories do little to strengthen their credibility. Their defense stands out as a glaring weakness, ranking among the lowest, which exacerbates the challenges they face in both their conference and potential tournament matchups. To bolster their standing, they must secure wins against teams like Morehead State and Southern Indiana—both crucial to their conference run and overall resume.
