Projection: likely out
This Hofstra squad has certainly put up a valiant effort, racking up a decent overall record with a few noteworthy wins, particularly the standout victory over South Florida. However, some of the losses to lower-tier opponents like Campbell and Monmouth NJ raise eyebrows and chip away at their resume. Additionally, while they have shown they can compete with higher-caliber teams with a close game against St John's and a competitive outing against Duke, these aren't the statement wins needed to overshadow multiple losses to teams around or below their weight class. They've also been tripped up by conference rivals like College of Charleston and Stony Brook, deflating their stronghold on asserting dominance within their own conference. Given these factors, they're on the outside looking in, making their chances of receiving a bid slim—especially when considering the weight the selection committee places on strong wins and consistency, which Hofstra has struggled to showcase down the stretch.
