Projection: need to automatically qualify

W Michigan's season has been marked by a series of tough challenges and disappointing results, particularly in non-conference play against stronger opponents like Butler and Dayton. Their win against Canisius stands out, but it doesn’t offset losses to teams like Coastal Carolina and South Dakota. Their computer rankings reveal significant vulnerabilities on both offense and defense, underscoring their struggles to compete consistently. The upcoming matchups present a mixed bag of chances; while they have favorable odds against weaker teams like Buffalo and N Illinois, their low success rates against better-ranked competition will likely hinder their ability to build a strong resume. To secure a spot in the NCAA tournament, they’ll need to win the Mid-American Conference title, as their overall record and performance suggest they won't gain an at-large bid without significant improvement.
