Projection: need to automatically qualify

Davidson's NCAA tournament hopes are pretty clear-cut at this point—they're in a position where they must win their conference tournament to punch their ticket to the Big Dance. Despite a couple of bright spots, including a notable win against Maryland, their overall record is unremarkable, with losses against teams like George Washington and Rhode Island holding them back. Additionally, close defeats to high-ranked opponents like Clemson and Dayton show potential but ultimately do not bolster their case without the W's. They've struggled with inconsistency, and their offensive metrics indicate challenges on that end of the court. While their defense appears to be a relative strength, without a strong finish and an Atlantic 10 title, it's tough to see them receiving an at-large bid with the resume they've built throughout the season.
