Projection: need to automatically qualify
Idaho State's current struggles significantly weaken their NCAA tournament resume. A rocky start with losses to teams like Arizona State and USC shows their vulnerability against stronger opponents, despite a competitive effort. Their ability to secure a win against San Diego is encouraging, but inconsistent offensive performance, particularly against teams like UCLA and CS Fullerton, highlights a lack of scoring depth. Upcoming games, including critical matchups against Oral Roberts and Utah Valley, will be key; winning against these teams is essential for rebuilding momentum and improving their standing within the Big Sky. Without notable victories, they risk slipping further from tournament consideration.
