Projection: need to automatically qualify
Cal Poly's season trajectory makes it crystal clear: they're a long shot to make a splash in the NCAA tournament without punching their ticket automatically by winning the Big West Conference tournament. Despite a gritty win against St. Thomas MN and showing they can scrap with closer losses to teams like Oregon State and Long Beach State, they've also stumbled in matchups where they were more evenly matched, for example against Cal State Northridge and CS Fullerton. The lack of consistent offensive firepower, as evidenced in their struggles to put up points against most of their schedule, coupled with a middle-of-the-pack defensive effort that hasn't been enough to counteract their scoring woes, paints a picture of a team that needs to harness some serious magic come conference tournament time to extend their season.
