Projection: need to automatically qualify

Brown's path to the NCAA tournament hinges on their performance in the Ivy League, but their overall record and computer rankings paint a troubling picture. Losses to teams like Siena and Holy Cross showcase significant vulnerabilities, particularly in tight contests. While the victory over Rhode Island was a highlight, it can't mask the lack of consistency against both conference and non-conference opponents. The upcoming games against teams like Columbia and Cornell present crucial opportunities for Brown to cement their standing; however, their inability to secure wins in tougher matchups against Princeton and Yale raises questions about their competitiveness. This makes it essential for Brown to win the Ivy League tournament to have any hope of making the NCAA tournament, as their overall resume falls short of at-large consideration.
