Projection: need to automatically qualify

CS Bakersfield finds itself in a precarious position as the NCAA tournament approaches, marked by several critical weaknesses in its resume. The team's struggles are evident from their defensive inconsistencies and a few troubling losses, especially against lower-ranked opponents like Portland State and Cal Poly. Their inability to secure wins against stronger teams like UC Irvine and California highlight challenges against top competition. While they have achieved some notable victories, including against North Dakota State, the overall inconsistency will likely necessitate a strong finish in conference play or an automatic bid from the Big West. Upcoming matchups against teams like UC Santa Barbara and UC Riverside are pivotal; victories in those games could provide a much-needed boost to their standing.
