Projection: need to automatically qualify

Needing the conference automatic bid fits Louisiana Tech's resume. Their best moments have been defensive wins over UTEP and at home against MTSU and Delaware that show they can grind out results, but their worst moments — a lopsided road loss at Nevada, another heavy defeat away at MTSU and a nonconference setback to Liberty — leave blemishes a committee will notice. With few signature neutral-site victories and a remaining slate that includes a daunting road trip to Liberty alongside winnable home chances and a late road date at Delaware to firm up the profile, the cleanest path to the NCAA tournament is to take the conference's automatic bid.
