Projection: need to automatically qualify

Indiana State’s résumé reads like a team that can beat inferior opposition at home and grab a midweek road win but that has been badly exposed against top competition, and because the profile lacks meaningful road or neutral victories against the Valley’s established winners the committee will view the body of work as thin. The high points — a road victory at SIUE and home wins over the likes of Louisiana Tech and Ball State — prove the roster can close out manageable games, but the low points — a humbling trip to Duke, a neutral-site loss to Alcorn State and the split with Louisiana Tech — create a deficit of signature wins. With upcoming tests at Belmont, Northern Iowa, Murray State and Bradley all tilted toward the road, the clearest path for Indiana State to reach the NCAA field runs through winning the Missouri Valley tournament.
