Projection: need to automatically qualify

Merrimack's chances of making the NCAA tournament rely heavily on winning their conference. While they've managed some victories, like the solid win against Vermont, their overall performance against stronger opponents—most notably their struggles against teams like VCU and Rutgers—exposes significant weaknesses, especially offensively where they rank near the bottom nationally. Upcoming games against teams like Canisius and Niagara present opportunities to bolster their resume, but they need convincing wins to attract attention. With the potential to dominate in their conference, their path hinges on turning in strong performances and securing the automatic berth.
