Projection: need to automatically qualify

Oral Roberts' resume leaves almost no margin for error and explains why the path to the NCAA field runs through the Summit League tournament; the neutral-site victory over Kennesaw and the home win over Montana State are the rare highlights but they are dwarfed by damaging road defeats at Oklahoma State and Oklahoma and by heavy losses at TCU, Weber State and FGCU that undermine any at-large argument. Close losses to Tulsa and Missouri State show the team can hang with good opponents but those competitive efforts are offset by bad home setbacks to North Dakota programs and Nebraska Omaha that will make it hard to get attention from the committee. The remaining schedule gives a chance to rebuild credibility with home games against Missouri Kansas City and Denver and road trips to South Dakota and South Dakota State, yet without a resume-enhancing neutral or major-conference road victory the safest route to the bracket is winning the conference crown.
