Projection: need to automatically qualify

Loyola Marymount is currently facing an uphill battle for an NCAA tournament berth, primarily due to a weak overall record and a lack of quality wins against top-tier opponents. Losses to teams like UC Irvine and Gonzaga highlight significant challenges, while their victories against mid-tier programs like Nevada and Northern Alabama aren't enough to bolster their resume significantly. The upcoming matchup against St. Mary's presents a crucial opportunity to secure a noteworthy win that could enhance their standing; however, their offensive struggles, as seen in defeats to both Colorado State and St. Mary's, cast doubt on their ability to compete at a higher level consistently. Overall, without a strong finish in conference play or a deep run in the tournament, their path to an at-large bid remains unlikely.
