Projection: need to automatically qualify

CS Sacramento's path to the tournament runs through the Big Sky because the nonconference slate produced damaging road blowouts at blue‑chip programs such as UCLA and Baylor and tough losses at California and Pacific that outweigh the modest quality of its wins over Presbyterian, Northern Arizona, and Northern Colorado. The team has shown grit in close games against UC Santa Barbara and at UC Davis but the résumé is defined more by poor results away from home than by a handful of neutral or road victories that selection people prize. Upcoming trips to Idaho, Eastern Washington, Montana State, Montana, Weber State, and Portland State along with home chances against Northern Colorado and Northern Arizona are the remaining opportunities to change the narrative, yet as constructed now the safest route to the NCAA field is winning the conference crown.
