Projection: need to automatically qualify

Alabama State’s résumé shows a couple of encouraging moments, most notably a road victory at UAB and a neutral-site win over IUPUI, but those highlights are overwhelmed by ugly road outcomes at Florida State, Colorado, Missouri, Cincinnati, Memphis and Mississippi State and by damaging losses to midlevel opponents such as Air Force and Texas Southern that leave the nonconference ledger thin. With few quality wins away from home or on neutral courts, the Hornets’ clearest route to the NCAA tournament is to seize control of their conference schedule and capture the automatic berth, and the remaining league games at home and on the road against teams like Bethune-Cookman, Florida A&M, Grambling, Southern and Arkansas–Pine Bluff are the principal opportunities to erase the bad results and build a compelling case.
