Projection: need to automatically qualify

Brown's resume currently hinges on its performance in the Ivy League and its ability to snag wins against ranked opponents. The team's narrow losses to Siena and Maine, paired with their convincing victory over Rhode Island, show they can compete but also highlight inconsistency. Upcoming games against quality foes like Yale and Harvard will be critical; a split or better in those matchups could sway perceptions favorably. However, the team faces a tough challenge with games against traditional powers like Kansas and Kentucky, where any sizable loss could significantly hinder their momentum. If Brown can capitalize on its remaining Ivy League schedule, particularly against the likes of Cornell and Princeton, there's a pathway to improve their standing and potentially secure an automatic bid.
