Projection: need to automatically qualify

UT Arlington projects as a team that needs to win its conference tournament because its résumé mixes a few resume-building moments with a string of damaging results away from home. The best moments, including road wins at Weber State and Oral Roberts and a home victory over SF Austin, show they can defend and close out games, but those highlights are offset by poor outcomes at New Mexico, Stanford and Arkansas State and by multiple losses at Utah Valley and Cal Baptist that will make at-large voters uneasy. Add a neutral-site setback to that inconsistency and the clearest path to the NCAA field for this group is to seize the automatic berth by running the WAC tournament.
