Projection: need to automatically qualify

Eastern Washington's path to an NCAA tournament appearance hinges on their ability to improve their overall standing, given their lackluster performance in key matchups. Their struggles against top-tier opponents like Missouri and Colorado highlighted significant weaknesses in both defense and consistency, while victories against lower-ranked teams such as North Dakota and Weber State have provided glimpses of potential. The inconsistency in conference play, particularly the back-and-forth results against teams like Idaho and Northern Arizona, shows a team lacking the momentum needed for a strong tournament bid. They face tough challenges ahead, with away games being particularly important to strengthen their resume; wins against competitive opponents could greatly enhance their chances to secure an automatic berth through the Big Sky Conference tournament.
