Projection: need to automatically qualify

Air Force is facing an uphill battle for NCAA tournament consideration with a slim overall record and a challenging schedule ahead. Their early-season losses to North Alabama and LIU Brooklyn highlighted offensive struggles, as evidenced by their low rankings in scoring. While a win against Jacksonville State shows potential, their remaining non-conference games, particularly against teams like California and Belmont, will be critical for building a more compelling resume. Success in the Mountain West Conference will heavily rely on outperforming teams like New Mexico and Utah State, and securing a few key victories against ranked opponents is essential to shift their standing. Without significant improvement and a fortified resume, their best path to the tournament is through automatic qualification by winning the conference tournament.
