Projection: need to automatically qualify
Lafayette's current season has been rocky, with losses to Villanova and La Salle, showcasing a struggle both offensively and defensively. The team’s vulnerability is evident, particularly in their offensive rankings, as scoring consistently has proven difficult against higher-caliber opponents. Facing Penn resulted in a narrow victory, but they were overmatched against Cornell and Rhode Island, which highlights inconsistency in performance. Games against lower-ranked teams like LIU Brooklyn and Niagara will be critical; securing wins there could help bolster their confidence and overall standing in the Patriot League. However, to have any shot at an NCAA tournament appearance, they'll likely need to win their conference tournament—evidence that their current record will not be enough to earn an at-large bid.
