Projection: need to automatically qualify

Holy Cross is facing an uphill battle for NCAA tournament consideration, primarily due to their challenging overall performance and weak rankings across the board. Losses to teams like Wisconsin and Virginia illustrate a lack of competitiveness against higher-tier opponents, while their narrow victories over teams ranked significantly lower showcase a troubling inconsistency. Their conference schedule is crucial; games against Army and Boston University are must-wins to build momentum and enhance their résumé. However, a strong finish in the Patriot League tournament appears to be their only viable path to the NCAA tournament, as their current standing does not suggest at-large bid potential.
