Projection: need to automatically qualify
Holy Cross faces a tough road to make any significant dent in the NCAA tournament due to their less than stellar season, highlighted by struggles both on offense and defense. Key losses to teams like Boston College and St. John's exposed their shortcomings against higher-tier competition. Even among peers, outcomes such as the losses to Bucknell and Navy indicate inconsistency within conference play. Notably, their fleeting high points, solely represented by a surprise win against Georgetown and stringing victories over lower-ranked conference rivals like Loyola MD, aren't strong enough to suggest a threat in the bracket without them clinching the Patriot League title in their conference tournament. Stronger performances in their regular-season matchups, particularly against rivals like Colgate, would have bolstered their case. However, with their current resume, the path to March Madness success seems to hinge exclusively on capturing that automatic bid.
