Projection: need to automatically qualify

Western Michigan's chances of making the NCAA Tournament hinge significantly on securing a strong finish in the Mid-American Conference. Despite some competitive outings, their record is marred by several bad losses, including a disappointing setback against Coastal Carolina and an inability to claim victories against quality opponents like Butler and Dayton. Their wins against teams like Youngstown State and Northern Illinois provide a glimmer of hope, but they lack the signature wins necessary for at-large consideration. Upcoming games against teams like Akron and Miami could serve as critical opportunities for marquee victories, but without a strong finish, including a potentially deep run in the conference tournament, the Broncos will likely find themselves on the outside looking in.
