Projection: need to automatically qualify
Loyola Marymount's season has been a rough ride, highlighted by losses to teams like UC Irvine and Colorado State, which really hurt their credibility. While they've secured some wins, particularly against Nevada and Belmont, those victories aren't enough to lift their overall profile significantly. Their weak offensive rankings and inconsistency against lower-tier teams create doubts about their ability to compete effectively in the tournament. Upcoming games will be crucial, especially any matchups against San Francisco and Gonzaga; strong performances in those contests could shift perceptions, but they need consistent success against both strong and weak opponents to have any hope of an at-large bid.
