Projection: need to automatically qualify
Brown faces an uphill battle to make its mark in the NCAA tournament given its lackluster early-season showing and a challenging schedule ahead. The team’s close losses to Siena and Maine highlight their struggle to finish games, while the victory over New Hampshire won't hold much weight if they can't build on it with more significant wins. Upcoming matchups against stronger opponents like Vermont and Rhode Island will be critical; securing wins there could give the committee a reason to take notice. However, their low defensive rankings indicate weaknesses that opponents may exploit, particularly as they face teams that are better positioned within their conferences. With Ivy League play yet to unfold, winning the conference will be essential for NCAA dreams.
