Projection: need to automatically qualify
George Washington’s early season record is impressive, but their strength of schedule raises concerns about their NCAA tournament viability. Wins over lower-ranked opponents like Mercyhurst and Hampton are expected and don’t bolster their tournament resume significantly. Their loss to Kansas State, while against a stronger foe, reveals gaps in both offense and defense, as they allowed an excessive point total while struggling to keep pace offensively. The upcoming matchups will be pivotal; games against Dayton and VCU could either enhance their standing with high-profile wins or further expose their weaknesses. Success in these matchups, particularly against stronger A-10 opponents, is essential for an at-large bid, while continued wins against weaker teams will likely not suffice.
