Projection: need to automatically qualify

Buffalo's path to the NCAA tournament is riddled with challenges, primarily stemming from a lack of impactful wins and a defense that struggles against both quality and lower-tier teams. The narrow victory over Old Dominion is a minor highlight, but it doesn't offset the numerous losses to more competitive squads such as Notre Dame, Georgia, and Akron. Consequently, their chances appear dim unless they can significantly improve their performance against conference rivals like Central Michigan and Miami Ohio, who they have close matchups against. Strengthening their résumé in these upcoming contests is essential; otherwise, automatic qualification through the conference tournament may be their only hope.
