Projection: need to automatically qualify

Tennessee St’s résumé is a study in contrast: road wins at UNC Asheville and Chattanooga show it can steal games away from home, but those bright spots are overshadowed by heavy defeats at Tennessee and a puzzling loss at Alabama A&M plus road setbacks at Belmont and WKU that undermine the quality of the profile. The team has handled lesser league foes at home and has a slate of conference dates and a road trip to UNLV that offer clear chances to add meaningful wins, yet the overall resume lacks a signature victory over a high‑level opponent and is damaged by results that suggest inconsistency on the road. Because the best moments came against mid‑major opposition and the worst moments were emphatic losses away from home, Tennessee St heads into the closing stretch needing to convert those upcoming opportunities into a standout road or neutral‑site win to erase the bad losses and remove the little margin for error that remains.
