Projection: need to automatically qualify

Loyola-Chicago's resume has several strengths, highlighted by key wins over teams like St. Louis and Dayton, both of whom are solid competitors in the Atlantic 10. However, the losses against stronger opponents, such as VCU and St. Joseph's, as well as the early loss to San Francisco, raise concerns about their ability to consistently compete at a high level. Their offense struggles at times, evident in games like the one against George Mason, where they were held to a low score. Moving forward, achieving wins against teams like George Washington and St. Louis will be critical for improving their standing, as a couple more quality wins could bolster their position. Yet, dropping any upcoming games against lower-ranked teams could severely damage their tournament hopes, making it imperative for them to finish strong.
