Projection: need to automatically qualify
Hawaii's resume paints a challenging picture for an at-large bid due to a mix of limited quality wins and several concerning losses. A win against San Jose State, while solid, is offset by a setback against North Carolina, revealing the gap against higher-tier teams. The squad has also struggled against tougher opponents, such as Nebraska, and their upcoming schedule doesn’t substantially present high-caliber opportunities to enhance their standing; matches against teams like UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara could be pivotal. To secure a place in the NCAA tournament, they will likely need to dominate the Big West and capture the conference's automatic bid.
