Projection: need to automatically qualify
Massachusetts has faced a challenging schedule that has left their tournament prospects hanging by a thread. Key losses against teams like West Virginia and Arizona State highlight their struggles against higher-ranked opponents, which weakens their overall strength of schedule. While victories against teams like Dayton and St. Bonaventure show they can compete, their inconsistent performance, particularly on defense where they often falter, has been detrimental. With upcoming games against tougher Atlantic 10 opponents, Massachusetts must focus on solidifying their defense and picking up crucial wins to improve their standing; otherwise, they'll find themselves on the outside looking in come tournament time.
