Projection: likely out
Milwaukee's resume presents challenges for an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament, especially considering their inconsistent non-conference performance. Losses to Northern Iowa and UCF, both of which would be considered significant opportunities, highlighted the team's weaknesses, particularly on defense, where they allowed an alarming number of points. Their victories over the likes of Wofford and Akron suggest potential, but the overall defensive inefficiency needs immediate attention. Upcoming matches against teams like Wright State and Northern Kentucky will be pivotal; securing wins against these fellow Horizon competitors can bolster their credentials, but failing to capitalize on these opportunities will likely seal their fate to rely solely on winning the conference tournament to ensure a tournament berth.
