Projection: need to automatically qualify

Marist's performance throughout the season leaves them in a difficult spot for NCAA tournament at-large consideration, primarily due to a lackluster overall record against teams outside their conference. With notable victories against lower-ranked opponents like Army and Iona, the team has shown flashes of potential, but losses to other MAAC rivals, such as Rider and Sacred Heart, raise concerns about their consistency. Their offensive struggles, evidenced by low scoring outputs even in victories, coupled with a heavy reliance on defensive efforts that occasionally falter, suggest they will need to perform exceptionally well in the conference tournament to earn a spot in March Madness. Key upcoming games against stronger MAAC teams could serve as critical opportunities to bolster their resume, but they must win convincingly and avoid more damaging losses.
