Projection: need to automatically qualify

Columbia's path to the NCAA tournament hinges on its performance in the Ivy League, particularly through upcoming matchups against teams like Princeton and Penn. While the team boasts some impressive victories, such as a strong offensive showing against Villanova and consistent scoring against lower-tier opponents, its defensive struggles are concerning. Losses to Cornell and Yale expose significant weaknesses that need addressing, as both teams are potential hurdles in a competitive conference. Columbia must capitalize on winnable games like the one against Brown to build momentum and secure a strong conference finish, while also seeking a standout performance in their matchup against Princeton to truly bolster their tournament credentials.
