Projection: need to automatically qualify

Buffalo's season has been a tough road, characterized by a number of losses to teams that are not exactly powerhouses, which has significantly hurt their standing. The losses to Bryant and Akron, for instance, emphasize the issues on both ends of the court, with the defense struggling to contain even average offenses. Their ability to win against teams like Morgan State and Old Dominion provides a glimmer of hope, but more consistency is necessary for a realistic shot at making the NCAA tournament. Upcoming games against middle-of-the-pack teams such as Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan are crucial; securing victories in these matchups would not only boost their record but also enhance their profile within the Mid-American Conference. However, any more slip-ups could make an automatic bid through the conference tournament their only path.
