Projection: need to automatically qualify
Idaho is clearly facing an uphill battle based on its early performance, particularly with a defense that has shown vulnerability, allowing abundant points against quality opponents like Washington State and BYU. The game against UC Davis highlighted issues on both ends of the floor, as they fell short in a closely contested matchup. Upcoming games, particularly against Southern Utah and Pacific, represent crucial opportunities to build their resume. Winning those would not just stabilize their record but also enhance their profile in the Big Sky, where every win becomes pivotal in the quest for an automatic bid. Given the challenges they face in matchups against more competitive teams, winning against middle-tier opponents is essential for them to gain traction in the tournament conversation.
