Projection: need to automatically qualify
CS Sacramento's resume is concerning, plagued by poor offensive performance and inconsistent results against both strong and weak competition. Their inability to secure wins against teams like UC San Diego and Fresno State illustrates significant challenges they face in scoring effectively. Even their victories, such as a close win over Air Force, don't inspire confidence. Upcoming games present opportunities to improve, particularly against Northern Arizona and Idaho, which are critical matchups that could bolster their standing within the Big Sky. Conversely, matchups against higher-ranked opponents like Oregon State might further expose their weaknesses and diminish any hope of an at-large bid. Success in conference play is essential, but as is, they would need to win the Big Sky tournament to ensure a place in the NCAA tournament.
