Projection: need to automatically qualify

Eastern Washington's chances of making the NCAA tournament are heavily dependent on their ability to perform well in the Big Sky Conference and secure an automatic bid. While they have shown offensive firepower, as evidenced in their win against Seattle and a strong showing against Cal Poly, their inconsistency on defense is concerning, illustrated by their losses to teams like Colorado and Utah. Upcoming matchups against Montana and Montana State will be crucial; both are potential resume-building opportunities that could help bolster their standing, but failing to win those games might jeopardize their chances further, especially given their shaky performance against other mid-major opponents. In essence, they need to focus on defensive improvements and capitalize on the matchups ahead to strengthen their NCAA credentials.
