Projection: need to automatically qualify
Montana's chances of making the NCAA tournament are highly dependent on their performance in the Big Sky Conference due to a lackluster overall resume. They suffered heavy defeats against top-tier teams like Oregon and Tennessee, which severely impacted their credibility. Their victories over teams like South Dakota State and CSU Northridge are respectable but hardly enough to warrant at-large consideration. Additionally, the upcoming schedule includes critical matchups against teams like Montana State and Idaho, where wins could bolster their tournament hopes. However, inconsistencies in their performance and a weak overall record may force them to rely solely on winning the conference tournament to secure a spot in the big dance.
