Projection: need to automatically qualify

Idaho's path to an NCAA tournament bid hinges heavily on their performance in the Big Sky Conference, as their overall record and computer rankings currently don't provide a compelling case for an at-large selection. They have struggled against higher-ranked opponents, highlighted by lopsided losses to BYU and Washington State. Even in victories, such as against UC Riverside and Weber State, there are concerns about consistency, particularly with a weak offensive efficiency and a porous defense. The upcoming conference games will be critical; winning key matchups against teams like Montana and Northern Colorado could significantly bolster their chances. However, they cannot afford any more slips against lower-ranked teams, as losses to teams like CS Sacramento and Idaho State would sink their hopes further.
