Projection: need to automatically qualify

Alcorn State’s resume points squarely toward winning the conference tournament as the only realistic route to the field; the roster’s signature nonconference moment is a neutral-site victory over Indiana State but that bright spot is overwhelmed by heavy true road losses at Florida State, Minnesota, LSU, Iowa State, Baylor, Oklahoma and Mississippi that will be read as severe blemishes by a committee. Most wins have come against league opposition, including a gritty road result at Alabama A&M and a close home win over Prairie View, so there simply aren’t enough quality wins or road success to build an at-large case. The remaining schedule offers a string of winnable league dates, including trips to Arkansas–Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State and home encounters with conference rivals, so the practical path to the tournament is to use those chances to gain momentum and secure the automatic berth.
