Merrimack's resume presents a challenging path for an NCAA tournament berth, given their current standing and performance against peers. Their lone win came against Vermont, while losses to VCU and Princeton showcased struggles against higher-tier competition, highlighting offensive inefficiencies that rank among the lowest in the nation. Upcoming games against teams like Canisius and Fairfield could provide opportunities to solidify their standing within the Metro Atlantic, especially considering their favorable odds in those matchups. However, their chances to bolster their resume against significantly tougher opponents, like Stanford, appear slim, making a conference title the likely ticket to the tournament.
