Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

The projection makes sense because the resume is carried by meaningful road victories at UNLV and Bradley and a neutral-site win over Prairie View that prove the group can finish on the road, while a blowout loss at Southern Illinois and damaging defeats at Southern Miss and Tennessee State expose inconsistency and weaken any claim to quality wins. Nonconference triumphs over easier opponents shore up the ledger but do little to erase the appearance of vulnerability when the opponent or venue matters, and the remaining slate against Arkansas Little Rock, Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, Southern Indiana, Morehead State, Lindenwood, SIUE, Southeast Missouri State and the conference home dates with Tennessee Tech and Tennessee State is a stretch that offers clear chances to firm the case or instead leave the team dependent on a strong conference tournament run to make the field.
