Projection: need to automatically qualify

Maine's resume raises concerns for its chances to make the NCAA tournament, as the team struggles significantly against quality opponents, highlighted by their substantial loss to Duke. While they’ve secured some wins against weaker teams like Holy Cross and NJIT, inconsistent performances and a rough start against teams like Quinnipiac and Fordham contribute to a mediocre standing. Additionally, their defensive efficiency shows promise, but the offense is lacking, making it difficult to rely on outscoring opponents consistently. Upcoming games present opportunities for improvement, especially against teams like Vermont and Bryant, where wins could bolster their standing in the America East and increase their chances of automatic qualification. However, a slip-up against a far lower-ranked opponent could seal their fate.
