Projection: need to automatically qualify

Merrimack's season demonstrates a challenging road to an NCAA tournament berth, primarily due to a lack of quality wins and an offense that struggles to generate points against solid defenses. Their losses to teams like VCU and Stanford highlight an inability to perform against higher-ranked opponents. While they've secured some victories against lower-ranked teams, such as their wins against Fairfield and Canisius, these aren't likely to impress the selection committee. Upcoming games against teams like Iona and Niagara provide critical opportunities to bolster their resume, but they must convert these chances into wins while addressing their offensive inefficiencies to have a shot at making the tournament as an automatic qualifier.
