Projection: need to automatically qualify
Valparaiso's current resume presents significant challenges for an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament. Their non-conference schedule, highlighted by losses to Liberty and DePaul, reveals a struggle against higher-ranked opponents, which dampens their strength of schedule. Despite some commendable wins against teams like Belmont and Northern Iowa, the number of losses, especially in close games, raises concerns about consistency and defensive vulnerabilities. Upcoming matchups against fellow Missouri Valley Conference teams could offer a final opportunity to bolster their resume, but without a strong showing, they may find themselves needing to win the conference tournament to secure a place in the Big Dance.
