Projection: need to automatically qualify

Lindenwood’s résumé is defined by stark contrast: road blowouts at Texas Tech, St. Louis and Indiana have heavily damaged its nonconference profile while a neutral-site win over Charleston Southern, a home victory over Missouri-Kansas City and a road triumph at Northern Illinois are the few positive moments and come against modest opposition. That combination leaves the team short on signature wins and vulnerable on the road, even though it has shown it can beat mid- and lower-tier teams. Most of the calendar ahead is conference play, with several home chances to pad the ledger but also a string of true road tests at Missouri State, SIUE, Southeast Missouri State and Tennessee-Martin that will determine whether the résumé improves enough without a tournament title. In short, the heavy losses to high-major opponents limit at-large appeal, so performance across these remaining league games and the conference tournament will decide Lindenwood’s fate.
