Projection: need to automatically qualify

Massachusetts' season has been riddled with inconsistencies, particularly on the defensive end, which hampers their overall competitiveness. They managed to secure some wins against lower-tier opponents, like New Hampshire and Northeastern, but losses to teams like Louisiana Tech and Arizona State highlight their struggles against more formidable foes. The upcoming games present both challenges and opportunities; crucial matchups against St. Joseph's and Richmond could significantly impact their standing, but the success rate against higher-ranked teams like Dayton and VCU looms large as a barrier. Unless they can turn around their defensive issues, especially in high-stakes games, their hopes for NCAA tournament consideration rest heavily on steering through the Atlantic 10 with a solid run.
