Projection: need to automatically qualify

Loyola Marymount’s resume reads like a team with flashes that could earn an at-large bid but not enough to be comfortable without a conference title; quality road and neutral results such as victories at UC Santa Barbara and at San Francisco along with a nonconference neutral-site win over Ohio show they can win away from home, yet those bright spots are diluted by a string of lopsided setbacks including a heavy loss at Gonzaga and ugly defeats at Santa Clara and against St. Louis that a committee will view as damaging. The profile’s best moments keep them alive in the discussion while the worst moments erode an at-large case, and the remaining home dates with Washington State and Seattle are the last clear chances to add resume polish before the league tournament so the simplest path to the NCAA field is capturing the West Coast Conference’s automatic bid.
