Projection: need to automatically qualify

Looking at Manhattan's season, it's clear that they faced a tough slate with games against some notable programs. Their courage is evident in squaring off against powerhouses like Kansas and Connecticut, but heavy losses in those contests showed a gap in competition level. A key win against Iona, who've typically been strong in the Metro Atlantic, is a bright spot, but losses to teams like Fairleigh Dickinson, Quinnipiac, and Fairfield indicate inconsistency. This pattern of performance suggests that their best shot at making noise in March would come from running the gauntlet in their conference tournament to claim an automatic berth, as quality wins are sparse and losses to lower-ranked conference foes have hurt their case.
