Projection: need to automatically qualify
Southern Utah’s most realistic path to the NCAA Tournament is winning the conference tournament because the résumé mixes a few resume-building victories with an abundance of damaging road defeats. Their best moments — a narrow neutral win at Stetson and hard-fought wins over Abilene Christian, Tarleton State and Utah Valley — show they can close tight games, but those flashes are overwhelmed by heavy losses at Gonzaga, Washington and Arizona State and by repeated defeats away from home. With the season’s weakness concentrated on the road, upcoming opportunities — trips to UT Arlington and Tarleton State and matchups with Cal Baptist, Utah Tech and Abilene Christian — are where Southern Utah must grab statement wins to change this picture.
