Projection: need to automatically qualify

Loyola Marymount's season presents a mixed bag, highlighted by a few wins against respectable opponents like Nevada and Belmont but plagued by significant losses, particularly against powerhouses like Gonzaga and St. Mary's. The team's struggles on offense are evident, especially in games against stronger defensive squads where they’ve scored poorly, such as their defeat at Colorado State. To bolster their tournament hopes, they need to capitalize on upcoming matchups against teams like Pacific and Pepperdine, where they have favorable odds. However, without a more robust showing in these critical games, particularly against higher-ranked opponents like Santa Clara and St. Mary's, they remain at risk of missing out on an at-large bid and will likely need to secure the conference championship to guarantee a tournament spot.
