Projection: need to automatically qualify
Lafayette’s chances of making the NCAA tournament are slim, primarily due to a weak overall record and lackluster performances, particularly on offense. The team has struggled against higher-ranked opponents, such as their losses to Villanova and Cornell, both of which exposed defensive inefficiencies and offensive shortcomings. Their victories have often come against lower-tier teams, notably against LIU Brooklyn and Niagara, but these wins simply do not carry the weight needed for a strong tournament resume. Upcoming games against teams like Colgate and Navy, where they face significant challenges but also potential for much-needed wins, will be critical. However, with their overall standing, Lafayette must either dominate the Patriot League tournament or significantly elevate their performance in these matchups to have any hope for a bid.
