Projection: need to automatically qualify

MA Lowell's trajectory this season indicates a challenge in securing an at-large bid for the NCAA tournament, primarily due to a poor defensive ranking that raises concerns, especially highlighted in their losses, such as the setback against Gonzaga and the nail-biter to St. Louis. While their offense has shown the ability to put up points, evident in wins against teams like Quinnipiac and Dartmouth, their inconsistent defense against both quality and lower-tier opponents suggests vulnerability. Upcoming games against conference rivals, especially those with better standings like Vermont and Bryant, will be crucial—winning these will bolster their resume, but continued defensive struggles could tighten their chances significantly. Winning the America East conference would be the most reliable path to the tournament given their overall performance.
