Projection: need to automatically qualify

La Salle's season has been the epitome of a roller coaster, with ups and downs that don't quite shake out to a compelling at-large bid. Their close knock against a highly ranked Duke, and tight games against Miami FL and Richmond show that they can hang tough with superior teams at times. However, losses to teams like George Mason and Howard, coupled with a lack of signature wins to balance the scales, have left La Salle in a spot where their only real shot at dancing in March is to win their conference tournament. They've shown grit with wins against certain A-10 neighbors, but to solidify their position, they'll need that conference crown to avoid being on the outside looking in come Selection Sunday. The Explorers have proven themselves capable of stretches of strong play, but with inconsistency being their Achilles heel this season, they'll need to find a higher gear to change the postseason conversation.
