Projection: need to automatically qualify

Iona's resume is quite shaky, with several notable weaknesses that hinder their NCAA tournament chances. Their performance against higher-ranked opponents like West Virginia showed they struggle to compete at that level, losing by a significant margin. They also dropped games against teams like Hofstra and Indiana State, which have been crucial for building their case. While they picked up some wins against weaker teams like Canisius and Sacred Heart, their overall inconsistency, particularly in defense, raises concerns. To improve their standing, Iona will need to secure victories in their remaining conference games and perhaps pull off a surprising win in a pivotal matchup to make a stronger case for selection.
