Projection: need to automatically qualify

Boston College’s resume presents significant challenges for NCAA tournament consideration. With a mix of wins against teams like Miami FL and Florida State, the Eagles have shown they can compete, but losses to higher-ranked opponents such as Duke and North Carolina highlight their struggles against elite competition. Their inconsistent offensive performance, evident in blowout losses to VCU and SMU, combined with a defense that has faltered against both strong and weaker opponents, puts them in a precarious position. Upcoming games against teams like Clemson and Pittsburgh are critical; victories would not only bolster their profile but also provide a much-needed momentum swing heading into the conference tournament, where an automatic bid may be their best chance at an appearance in the NCAA tournament.
