Projection: need to automatically qualify
Merrimack’s chances for an NCAA tournament bid hinge on their overall performance against a mixed bag of opponents. The team's strong defensive metrics are a clear asset, particularly showcased in games like their victory over Canisius, where they held their opponent to limited scoring. However, their offensive struggles—evident in losses to VCU and Princeton—show a tendency to falter against stronger defenses, limiting their potential to capture critical wins. With more significant conference matchups on the horizon, like their encounters with Iona, it will be essential for Merrimack to not only secure victories but also demonstrate offensive efficiency to bolster their tournament resume.
