Projection: need to automatically qualify
The projection that Miami must win the Mid-American to reach the NCAA tournament makes sense because the season’s clearest résumé builders are confined to a handful of standout results, notably a home victory over Old Dominion, a true road win at Air Force and a neutral-site triumph over UNC Greensboro, while much of the resume otherwise reads like comfortable home wins and vulnerable road performances at tougher stops such as Wright State, Kent, Toledo and Buffalo. The RedHawks have shown enough offense to beat midlevel league foes at home like Central Michigan and Western Michigan, but defensive inconsistency and a thin ledger away from Oxford leave no margin for error. With a favorable home date with Maine and other home opportunities still available alongside several challenging road tests, the cleanest path into the field is an automatic conference title.
