Projection: need to automatically qualify
Cal Baptist's chances for an NCAA tournament bid hinge significantly on their ability to perform in conference play and capitalize on upcoming opportunities. Key wins against teams like Kennesaw and Fresno State demonstrate they can score effectively, yet losses against UC Riverside and SMU expose vulnerabilities, particularly in close games. Upcoming matchups against Grand Canyon and Utah Valley are critical; victories here would bolster their standing and resume credibility, while any slip-ups could diminish their prospects further. Consistency in offense and shoring up their defense will be essential as they navigate the remainder of their schedule.
