Projection: need to automatically qualify
The Patriot League has historically been a one-bid conference, and a team like Army, which struggled mightily out-of-conference against a slew of higher-ranked teams, won't change this narrative. Losses to opponents such as Marist, Quinnipiac, and SUNY Albany signal a lack of readiness for the big dance. Although they showed competitive spirit in closer defeats to Indiana and Stony Brook, Army's record is marred by inconsistent play within their own conference, including losses to teams at the bottom of the rankings like Lafayette and Boston University. Moreover, the team's offensive woes—evidenced by low scoring outputs across the season—coupled with a defense that's unable to carry the full weight of the game means that Army would have to secure the Patriot League Tournament title to punch their ticket, as an at-large bid is decidedly off the table given their overall performance. A few bright spots, such as victories over Navy and Boston University, showcase their potential, but it's the Patriot League Championship or bust for Army.
