Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bucknell’s chances for a tournament bid hinge on their ability to perform well in the Patriot League. Despite some notable victories, like the solid win over Richmond and a strong showing against Delaware, their overall body of work is too inconsistent, highlighted by tough losses to teams like Mount St. Mary's and Rider. Their weaker offensive and defensive rankings further exacerbate concerns, making it crucial for them to find momentum in upcoming games against teams like American University and Boston University. Success in those matchups would significantly boost their standing and improve the chances of capturing an automatic bid through the conference tournament, which seems to be their most viable path at this point.
