Projection: need to automatically qualify

Loyola Marymount faces a challenging road ahead given their current record and performance metrics. The losses to UC Irvine and St. Louis highlight issues with both offensive production and defensive resilience against stronger opponents, and the narrow one-point victory over North Dakota does little to inspire confidence in their ability to compete consistently. Upcoming matchups like Belmont and Nevada will be crucial; these games present opportunities for the Lions to bolster their resume against higher-ranked teams. However, taking on juggernauts like Gonzaga and St. Mary’s is daunting, as their chances of success are slim. To enhance their tournament standing, they must secure wins against mid-tier teams like UC Santa Barbara and Oregon State, as each victory will be vital for earning respect within their conference and beyond.
