Projection: need to automatically qualify
CS Sacramento’s resume leaves little margin for error so the team will have to capture the conference’s automatic berth to reach the NCAA Tournament. The program’s strongest moments came in home victories over Montana State, Montana and Weber State that show it can beat the better teams in the league. The most damaging results are heavy road losses at UCLA, Baylor and California and a string of poor trips to Pacific, Cal Baptist and CS Northridge that have effectively erased any at-large case. Upcoming road dates at Northern Arizona and at Montana and Montana State along with home games against Eastern Washington, Idaho and Idaho State provide chances to rebuild momentum but the clearest route to the field is winning the Big Sky tournament.
