Projection: need to automatically qualify

North Texas needs to win the conference tournament to make the field because its season is defined by an elite defense and too little offense, a few respectable home wins and gritty moments on the road but a string of damaging losses that leave no room for error. The resume includes a solid home victory over Tulsa, a gritty road win at South Alabama and competitive showings at Oregon State and at a neutral site in California that prove the team can compete, yet a lopsided loss at St. Mary’s and defeats at Wichita State, Memphis and against midconference foes such as South Florida and East Carolina have undercut its profile. With no signature road or neutral wins to offset those setbacks and a finish that still features tough trips to Memphis and Temple alongside winnable home dates, the clearest and most reliable path onto the bracket is to secure the automatic bid.
