Projection: likely out

Wichita State’s profile is shaped by a handful of tidy wins and a cluster of damaging neutral-site setbacks, with the positives coming in victories over UNC Asheville, Prairie View, and Loyola‑Chicago and a true road win at Northern Iowa that shows they can close out lesser opponents away from home. The damage comes from the string of neutral losses at St. Mary’s, Colorado State, and WKU plus the tight defeat at Boise State, outcomes that rob the resume of the kind of signature wins committees prize. The remainder of the American schedule gives obvious opportunities to repair that picture with home dates against DePaul, Wofford, and Eastern Kentucky and tough road tests at UAB and Memphis along with midweek chances against Florida Atlantic and South Florida, so expectations hinge on whether Wichita State can convert those higher-difficulty road or neutral chances into wins rather than collect more damaging blemishes.
