Projection: need to automatically qualify

Kennesaw's résumé leaves little margin for error so their realistic path to the NCAA tournament runs through winning the conference tournament. Their best moments — a road win at Western Kentucky and a solid victory over Missouri State — prove they can get marquee wins away from home, but those positives are undermined by a heavy neutral loss to Alabama and a poor defeat at Delaware that will linger with committee voters. The team can light up the scoreboard as in the high-scoring game at FGCU yet inconsistent road results and a lack of clear signature wins against the league's top teams weaken any hope of being chosen without the automatic bid. Remaining home chances against New Mexico State and league matchups with MTSU and Liberty offer ways to change the conversation but a string of difficult road trips could leave Kennesaw dependent on a conference title to advance.
