Projection: need to automatically qualify

Boston University's season has been a struggle, particularly evident in their offensive performance, which ranks near the bottom across the board. Their losses to Northeastern and San Diego highlight their inability to compete against mid-tier teams, while a dismal outing against UCLA shows they struggle against elite competition. Though a few wins against lower-ranked squads like Dartmouth and UMBC provide minor bright spots, key upcoming matchups against Colgate and Lehigh are crucial. These games present an opportunity to bolster their standings, but they must secure these wins to enhance their postseason aspirations, especially given their mixed results against conference foes. Without a strong finish, their hopes for an at-large bid remain slim, making a conference tournament title the most likely path to the NCAA tournament.
