Projection: likely out
Eastern Washington has shown a mixed bag of performances early in the season, with a key win against Seattle but tough losses to higher-ranked opponents like Colorado and Missouri. The inconsistency on both offense and defense raises concerns, especially given their struggles against teams like Cal Poly and in their next few matches with higher-ranked foes, which could easily push their record down further. Success against weak opponents like North Dakota is expected but won't significantly bolster their resume. To strengthen their tournament case, they must capitalize on upcoming games against competitive teams such as Washington State and Idaho State while also aiming for a solid finish in conference play, which is crucial for improving their standing.
