Projection: need to automatically qualify

Fairfield's resume has some rough edges, mainly due to the lack of high-quality wins and some troubling losses. When dissecting Fairfield's season, what stands out are the victories over the likes of Yale and the consistency against conference opponents, including Iona, which they managed to overpower. However, struggles against higher-ranked opponents such as Boston College and Rhode Island, paired with the losses to teams like Queens NC and New Hampshire, highlight an inconsistency that can't be overlooked. The Stags didn't reel in those game-changing wins that can cause the selection committee to raise their eyebrows. They've operated comfortably within their conference, but to punch their ticket, it seems Fairfield must rely on securing their conference tournament, thereby clinching the automatic bid.
