Projection: need to automatically qualify

St. Thomas's resume reads like a team whose clearest route to the NCAA field is winning the Summit League tournament because its nonconference slate produced respectable efforts but no marquee road victory and a few damaging away and neutral losses. The program's best moments are real—road wins at Oral Roberts and Portland and a neutral victory over Northern Colorado plus a string of convincing conference wins over the likes of South Dakota and North Dakota that show they can close games away from home. The worst moments undercut any at-large case, with road setbacks at St. Mary's, Washington State and Montana State and a neutral loss to Cal State Fullerton and a tight defeat at North Dakota State that leave the résumé short on signature scalps. With a remaining run of conference matchups and midmajor opponents that offer chances to improve, the safe, logical path to the field is to secure the Summit League’s automatic bid.
