Projection: need to automatically qualify

Lafayette's path to the big dance hinges purely on success in the Patriot League Tournament due to their season's lackluster performance. Their struggles are highlighted by losses to teams with robust programs like UCLA, as well as several close defeats to middling squads such as Penn and Colgate. Those games reflect missed opportunities to show they can compete outside of their usual circle. Equally concerning is their inability to consistently beat teams at similar or lower performance levels, including a series of losses against Lehigh and Loyola MD. Consistency is key, and without notable wins, they've demonstrated that they're a tournament longshot. Stepping up during the conference tournament is their final chance to punch a ticket that won't come via at-large invitation based on season play.
