Projection: need to automatically qualify

Tennessee Tech has a handful of convincing road wins at West Georgia, W Illinois and SC Upstate and a solid home result against SE Missouri St, but those bright spots are undercut by blowout losses at Kentucky and Georgia and too many defeats to league peers such as Lindenwood, Morehead St, Southern Indiana and Tennessee St. Close losses at Charlotte and Lipscomb show the team competes in tight spots but they do little to erase the damage from those lopsided road setbacks that selection committees do not overlook. With no signature victories over upper‑tier opponents, the clearest path to the NCAA field runs through the conference automatic berth, and the slate still offers opportunities against Ark Little Rock, W Illinois, E Illinois, Morehead St, Southern Indiana, SIUE, Lindenwood and Tennessee St to add the kind of road or neutral wins that would change the resume. Absent a late run that includes meaningful wins away from home, the profile does not read like an at‑large résumé.
