Projection: need to automatically qualify
Monmouth's current struggles with an unfavorable record and a string of losses against teams such as Michigan State and Temple indicate significant challenges ahead. The offensive and defensive rankings expose weaknesses, especially against stronger opponents, making it difficult to secure quality wins that bolster their resume. Upcoming matchups against teams like Hampton and Fairfield offer potential opportunities to secure victories, but games against higher-tier programs like Auburn could severely damage any chance of relevance. It’s clear Monmouth must turn around its performance dramatically to have any hope of an NCAA tournament bid, likely requiring an automatic qualifier through the conference tournament.
