Projection: need to automatically qualify
La Salle's resume currently falls short of a typical at-large bid, largely due to inconsistent performances both offensively and defensively. The team has notable wins against Cornell and Temple, but losses to UC San Diego and Illinois Chicago highlight vulnerabilities, especially against more formidable opponents. With upcoming games against stronger A-10 teams like Dayton and VCU, there’s a critical opportunity to bolster their standing, but current metrics suggest they need to win the Atlantic 10 tournament to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament. Performing well against middle-tier teams in their conference could enhance their profile, but they must avoid any slip-ups against lower-ranked teams to maintain relevancy in the conversation.
