Projection: need to automatically qualify

Milwaukee's résumé contains real positives in a neutral-site win over South Dakota State and a gritty road victory at Cleveland State, but those moments are overshadowed by harsh defeats at major-conference stops such as Indiana and Texas Tech and by damaging conference setbacks at Northern Kentucky, Wright State and Green Bay plus a home loss to Oakland. The offense can score in bursts but the defense has been exposed away from home, leaving the team with too few signature road or neutral wins and too much collateral damage to feel comfortable on the at-large radar. With upcoming home chances against Cleveland State, Detroit, Wright State and Youngstown State and tough road trips to Northern Kentucky, Oakland and IUPUI there is still room to reshape the résumé, yet the most straightforward route to the NCAA field is winning the Horizon tournament.
