Projection: need to automatically qualify

Hofstra's resume is pretty shaky, highlighted by a weak strength of schedule and inconsistent performances. Their victories over Iona, Seton Hall, and some Coastal Conference opponents show potential, but losses to teams like Florida State and Houston reveal vulnerabilities, especially on the offensive end where they rank near the bottom. Despite solid defensive metrics, the fact that they have struggled against teams in the mid-range of Division I illustrates their challenges against stronger competition. Upcoming games against lower-ranked opponents like Stony Brook and NC A&T will be critical; wins there could help bolster their standing, while any slip-ups could make their path to an automatic bid much tougher.
