Projection: need to automatically qualify

Lehigh faces an uphill battle for an NCAA tournament spot, primarily due to their poor performance throughout the season. Their losses against teams like Northwestern and UCLA illustrate significant struggles against stronger competition, both in terms of scoring and defense. The close win against Marist does little to bolster their credibility, reflecting their inconsistency against more competitive opponents. With several upcoming games against subpar teams in their conference, like Navy and Bucknell, they’ll need to secure victories convincingly to enhance their resume. However, even if they perform well in those matchups, the lack of quality wins and dire rankings imply that their best shot at tournament inclusion would come via winning the Patriot League tournament, forcing them to focus all efforts on maximizing their playoff potential.
