Projection: need to automatically qualify

UT Arlington’s résumé reads like a team that can win meaningful games but has been set back by a few bad road outings. The high points include a gritty road victory at Weber State and resume-building wins over Stephen F. Austin and Oral Roberts that show UTA can win outside its building and in neutral settings. The low points are the lopsided losses at New Mexico, Stanford and Arkansas State and the neutral-site stumble against Campbell, results that undercut the resume’s upside. The remaining conference slate gives clear chances to rehabilitate the profile with home matchups against Tarleton State and Cal Baptist and a string of league tests that include trips to Utah Valley and Cal Baptist plus multiple games with Southern Utah and Abilene Christian, so how the Mavericks close out those hostile and home environments will decide whether the good wins hold up or the bad losses remain the defining narrative.
