Projection: need to automatically qualify

Binghamton's resume doesn't exactly scream tournament-ready at the moment. While the Bearcats have grinded out a decent overall record, the caliber of the victories and the struggles against higher-ranked opposition are concerning. Losses against teams like Northwestern, Pittsburgh, and St. Bonaventure offer a reality check on how they stack up against more robust competition, raising red flags about their ability to make noise in March. The bright spots, such as their win against Maine and the seesaw battle ultimately won against New Hampshire, do show resilience and an ability to close out tight games. Yet, the inconsistencies highlighted by their performances against Vermont and their bumpy ride through conference play indicate that they might need the America East's automatic bid to punch their ticket to the Big Dance. Absent that, it's tough seeing the selection committee giving them a nod based on what's unfolded so far.
