Projection: need to automatically qualify

Hawaii’s resume has notable challenges that are hard to overlook, particularly their performance against higher-tier teams like North Carolina, Nebraska, and UC Irvine, which points to issues in both offense and defense against tough competition. Despite some solid wins, such as their victory over UC Riverside and a recent triumph against Long Beach State, they've struggled for consistency in a league that lacks national prominence, and losses to teams like CS Northridge and UC San Diego highlight vulnerabilities. To enhance their chances for a tournament bid, they would need to capture key victories in remaining conference play, especially against ranked opponents or by securing a strong finish in the Big West Conference tournament. Their current standing suggests they will likely need to win the automatic qualifier to secure an NCAA tournament spot.
