Projection: need to automatically qualify
Blowout losses at Gonzaga, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt and a tough result at Texas State plus the close defeat to Samford expose defensive holes and offensive inconsistency, so the only realistic path into the NCAA tournament runs through winning the conference tournament. Restoring credibility requires taking care of key league dates against Alcorn State, Jackson State and Prairie View and avoiding harmful road slips at Southern and Grambling. A surprise road victory at Minnesota or at NC State would dramatically change the narrative but those outcomes are unlikely.
