Projection: need to automatically qualify

Fairfield's chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge on their performance in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Their non-conference schedule did not result in any signature wins; losses against teams like Rhode Island and Georgetown highlight their struggles against quality competition. While they managed to secure victories over lower-tier teams such as New Hampshire and FDU, a weak overall record and dismal rankings in both offensive and defensive categories significantly undermine their case. However, upcoming games against teams like Marist and Quinnipiac provide opportunities to boost their resume, but they must capitalize on these chances to gain momentum heading into the conference tournament. With the current state of affairs, an automatic qualification is the most attainable path for Fairfield to reach the NCAA tournament.
