Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cal Poly's season reflects a significant struggle, highlighted by a mix of narrow victories against lower-tier opponents and lopsided losses to stronger teams. The recent victory over CS Northridge showcased their offensive potential, but they’ve consistently faltered against teams like Arizona State and UC Irvine, demonstrating defensive weaknesses that could haunt them in the postseason. The upcoming games against Long Beach State and UC Riverside are pivotal, as wins would bolster their standing. However, they must confront the reality that their overall numbers and quality of wins leave them with a challenging road ahead; they are unlikely to earn an at-large bid without a strong finish in the Big West tournament. In short, their best chance lies in clinching the automatic tournament berth.
