Projection: need to automatically qualify

WI Milwaukee’s resume shows flashes of quality but too many damaging losses away from home to feel comfortable for an at-large berth. The Panthers have quality home wins and a neutral-site victory over South Dakota State, yet they were thoroughly beaten on the road at high-major destinations such as Indiana, Texas Tech, Wichita State, Akron and Wisconsin and they also dropped winnable conference games at Wright State, Green Bay, Northern Kentucky and Oakland. With the remaining slate featuring chances to repair the profile at home against Cleveland State and Detroit and on the road at Robert Morris, Youngstown State, Northern Kentucky and Oakland, the most reliable route to the national tournament is to run the table in the Horizon Conference tournament and claim the automatic bid.
