Projection: need to automatically qualify
Wright State has had a season of stark contrasts, showcasing a potent offense but struggling significantly on the defensive end. A slate of non-conference games illustrates this with a notable loss to a strong Colorado State team and close encounters with the likes of Indiana and Toledo, showcasing that the Raiders can score but often at the expense of their defense. The lack of signature wins outside the Horizon League pits them unfavorably in the at-large bid conversation, and the consistency wasn't there in conference play either, with losses against teams like Wisconsin Green Bay and Wisconsin Milwaukee that were setbacks in both optics and metrics. Besting Northern Kentucky in a tight matchup showed some late-season strength, yet the second loss to the Norse in a narrow defeat indicates that Wright State must secure the Horizon League title to punch their ticket as they lack the quality wins required to stand out in the at-large field.
