Projection: need to automatically qualify

Denver's current resume raises significant concerns, particularly due to their struggles against top-tier opponents. Losses to Stanford and Colorado State highlight vulnerabilities in both their offensive and defensive play. While they have favorable projected outcomes against weaker teams like Cal Poly and North Dakota State, their ability to compete and secure wins in the Summit League will be crucial. Games against Montana State and South Dakota State will serve as litmus tests; winning these could bolster their resume and enhance their overall standing. However, without notable victories against higher-ranked opponents, they may need to rely on the automatic qualifier from their conference to secure a tournament spot.
