Projection: need to automatically qualify

Loy Marymount has faced a demanding season with a mixed bag of results. Their most notable wins have come against high-caliber opponents such as UNLV, a testament to their potential to pull off upsets. However, the team has struggled with consistency, falling short in key matchups against top-tier conference rivals like Gonzaga and St Mary's CA, both times showing they can compete but not quite seal the deal. These shortcomings, alongside some disappointing losses to lower-ranked teams like San Diego and Pepperdine, have made it clear that their path to the Big Dance hinges on making noise in their conference tournament and capturing the automatic bid. Only by hoisting that trophy can they punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament, as their body of work throughout the regular season lacks the heft needed for an at-large berth.
