Projection: need to automatically qualify

Idaho State’s tournament aspirations hinge on their ability to generate quality wins, despite a mixed overall performance. They faced tough competition early in the season, with narrow losses to Arizona State and USC, but their inability to secure wins against teams like South Dakota and CSU Fullerton raises concerns. They have shown flashes of promise with victories against Montana and Portland State, but these wins don’t outweigh the weak performances against bottom-tier teams such as Portland State and Sacramento State. The lack of a standout win—especially over higher-ranked opponents—paired with a shaky defensive record and inconsistent offensive output, suggests that their best path forward is to seize the automatic qualifying opportunity within their conference.
