Projection: need to automatically qualify
Boston University is facing a tough uphill battle when it comes to earning a spot in the NCAA tournament. Their non-conference losses, particularly against Northeastern, San Diego, and UCLA, are significant setbacks that hurt their credibility on a national scale. While they managed to secure victories against weaker opponents like Dartmouth and UMBC, their overall performance has been shaky, especially on the offensive side, where they’ve struggled against more competitive teams. Upcoming matchups against teams like Albany and Merrimack provide them with opportunities to bolster their resume, but they must win those games convincingly. With a challenging conference season ahead, their best chance at making the tournament is through winning the Patriot League championship, as their current standing won't likely earn them an at-large bid.
