Projection: need to automatically qualify

Hofstra's early season record is promising, but with a limited number of games, their overall standing lacks the strength typically needed for at-large consideration. The victory over Seton Hall was a solid showing, but a close win like that against a struggling opponent may not carry much weight as the season progresses. Their loss to Florida State highlights weaknesses in their ability to compete against strong programs, which could hurt their profile. Upcoming games against teams like Massachusetts, a solid mid-major, and Charleston, a conference foe, will be crucial; winning these could bolster their credentials significantly, while any slip-ups could prove detrimental to their hopes. Given their current standing, capturing the conference title is likely their best route to the tournament.
