Projection: need to automatically qualify

Marist has a difficult path ahead if it hopes to make the NCAA tournament, primarily due to its overall lack of quality wins and inconsistent offensive play. While the team has secured victories against lower-ranked opponents like Binghamton and Canisius, these wins do little to bolster its resume in a significant way. A couple of close losses, such as the games against Iona and Rider, highlight a troubling trend of struggling against competitive teams. The upcoming matchups against Niagara and Sacred Heart are crucial; victories here could provide a much-needed confidence boost and resume enhancement, but any slip-ups would further cement a disappointing season, making it clear that an automatic conference title is the most viable path to March Madness.
