Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ark Little Rock’s resume is driven by a genuine road victory at Ball State but undermined by a string of ugly losses away from home, including at Marquette and a rout at Central Arkansas that stick out as damaging results. Nonconference scheduling included difficult trips that produced few signature wins and a missed chance against mid-major competitors such as Murray State and Southern Illinois, so the profile lacks high-end scalps to balance the bad losses. The remaining slate brings a mix of winnable league games and a tough road test at West Virginia plus an important home date with Arkansas State, so the team can still shore up its case by avoiding more bad road showings and adding a quality road or neutral victory. Until that happens the resume reads as inconsistent: capable of beating comparable opponents but liable to collapse against stronger competition.
