Projection: need to automatically qualify

Iona's season has been a rollercoaster, defined by inconsistency. Key losses to Marist and St. Peter's — both of which sit in the lower echelon of the college basketball landscape — dented their resume significantly. However, a strong performance against Fairfield showcased their potential. The tight loss to College of Charleston, an uprising program this season, hinted at Iona's ability to contend with higher-tier opponents. Yet, victories over less competitive teams like St Francis PA and Siena aren't enough to offset those detrimental losses. What really stands out is their lack of signature wins and the fact that they haven’t been able to string together a convincing series of performances against solid competition. Without a significant win streak or a standout victory in regular season play, their tournament hopes hinge on an automatic bid by clinching their conference championship.
