Projection: need to automatically qualify

Massachusetts faces an uphill battle for NCAA tournament inclusion, primarily due to a lackluster strength of schedule and a mix of close losses against decent teams like West Virginia and Arizona State, underscoring their competitive spirit. However, their defensive inconsistency, highlighted by performances against VCU and St. Joseph's, reveals significant vulnerabilities. Upcoming matchups against Rhode Island and St. Bonaventure will be critical; winning both could bolster their resume, while a slip in those games would certainly diminish their hopes for an at-large bid. The Wildcats' ability to win crucial games late in the season may be their ticket, but they need to show they can compete consistently against strong opponents.
