Projection: need to automatically qualify
Lehigh's season has been a struggle, highlighted by inconsistent performances against a mix of competition. The losses to teams like Northwestern and UCLA demonstrate their challenges against higher-level opponents, and the overall computer rankings underscore their defensive weaknesses, which have been evident in several games where they allowed significant scoring. Victories against teams in the lower tiers of their conference, like Navy and Holy Cross, have shown they can compete within their league, but those wins are somewhat mitigated by defeats to similarly ranked teams such as Bucknell and American University. To improve their chances for tournament consideration, a strong finish in the Patriot League with quality wins, especially against top rivals, is crucial. However, the current resume reflects more concerns than strengths, making an automatic qualification necessary for a shot at the NCAA tournament.
