Projection: need to automatically qualify
Marist’s path to the NCAA tournament hinges on their ability to win the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Their non-conference performance has raised concerns, especially the troubling losses to teams like Harvard and Lehigh, which don't bolster their credentials. The wins against Army and Richmond were solid, but the overall inconsistency is glaring. Upcoming matchups, particularly against Iona and Siena, will be critical; if Marist can secure victories against these rivals, it could not only build momentum but also enhance their standing. However, they must address defensive vulnerabilities, as a lackluster showing could cost them in tight games. Winning their conference would be their best and likely only shot at making the tournament.
