Projection: need to automatically qualify

Milwaukee’s profile reads like a mid‑major resume that still needs a defining moment: its most convincing wins came at neutral site over South Dakota State and on the road at Cleveland State and were supplemented by solid home victories against Hampton and Arkansas Little Rock, which show the team can close tight games, but those bright spots are overwhelmed by heavy losses at major-conference opponents such as Indiana, Texas Tech and Wichita State and by a difficult road swing that included Akron and Wisconsin, all of which expose defensive vulnerabilities away from home. Conference setbacks at Wright State, Northern Kentucky and on the road at Green Bay deepen the resume damage because those were games the committee treats as must-win opportunities. With remaining chances against WI Green Bay, a trip to Detroit, a tough road test at Oakland and late games with Youngstown State and at IUPUI, Milwaukee can still create a clearer at‑large case by winning on the road or at neutral sites, otherwise its body of work points to needing the automatic qualifier to be safe.
