Projection: need to automatically qualify

Valparaiso's season has been marked by a lack of significant wins, highlighted by their performance against higher-ranked opponents like Liberty and Ohio State, where they suffered substantial defeats. Their inability to consistently secure victories—especially in conference matchups—has shown weaknesses in both their offense and defense. While they have claimed a handful of wins against lower-ranked teams such as Lindenwood and E Illinois, these victories won't significantly enhance their tournament prospects. With upcoming games against stronger opponents, Valparaiso needs to clinch crucial wins to bolster their NCAA tournament case. A successful run in their remaining conference games, particularly against teams like Northern Iowa and Drake, would be essential to improve their standing and make a compelling argument for an at-large bid.
