Projection: need to automatically qualify
Buffalo's current season trajectory paints a challenging picture for a tournament bid, primarily due to a lack of quality wins and an overall poor defensive performance. Key losses against teams like Notre Dame and Georgia showcase their struggles against stronger opponents, while their wins tend to come against weaker teams, such as victories over N. Illinois and Morgan State. Their inability to maintain defensive pressure, as reflected in significant losses to Akron and Georgia, further hampers their prospects. With upcoming games against conference rivals likely to be crucial, Buffalo will need to not only win but also demonstrate they can compete effectively against teams with higher rankings to solidify their resume for an automatic qualification.
