Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cornell's season has reflected a mix of potential and struggle, particularly in defense, ranking poorly in that department which makes it hard to win consistently, as showcased in their losses to Yale and Siena, where they allowed over 100 points. While their offensive firepower shines through in victories against teams like Samford and California, their overall inconsistency, especially in high-pressure games, raises concerns about their ability to compete in the NCAA tournament. To improve their standing, they must capitalize on their upcoming matchups against Penn and Princeton, both of which are vital to building momentum. Success here will solidify their chances of making a postseason push, ideally looking to secure automatic qualification through the Ivy League tournament.
