Projection: need to automatically qualify
Denver’s season is defined by a couple of genuine road scalps that show they can win away from home, most clearly at Montana State and at Colorado State, but those resume builders are badly undermined by brutal road losses at Arizona and at Wyoming and by damaging nonconference setbacks to Idaho State and Cal State Fullerton. The offense has flashed, with a home victory over Eastern Washington and wins over Missouri–Kansas City both at home and on the road, yet the defense has been exposed too often in hostile environments and neutral sites, leaving the overall résumé thin. The remaining league slate hands Denver several clear chances to rebuild momentum, but without a marquee win in the conference tournament the automatic route feels like the clearest path into the national tournament.
