Projection: need to automatically qualify
Hawaii's path to the Big Dance is clear-cut—they must win their conference tournament to punch their ticket. Their overall resume lacks the marquee victories that would demand attention from the selection committee. The close loss to a solid Nevada squad and a convincing win against UC Irvine late in the season show glimpses of potential, but losses to teams like CS Fullerton and UC Santa Barbara, generally seen as less competitive, drag down their case. Additionally, without any standout victories against top-tier opponents to bolster their argument, Hawaii's best bet is undoubtedly to secure the Big West's automatic bid. Their defensive statistics suggest some mettle, but with their offensive numbers not jumping off the page, the Warriors will need to rely on that defensive toughness and consistency to navigate through the conference tournament successfully.
