Projection: need to automatically qualify
Montana's resume paints the picture of a team balanced on the edge. Their pivotal moments this past season emerged in matches against marquee names—battling hard but falling to the likes of Houston, Nevada, and Oregon shows they can share the court with bigger programs, but those are still missed opportunities to solidify a spot in the field. The losses to North Dakota State and Portland State raise red flags, suggesting inconsistency, especially against teams outside the power conferences. They boast solid wins within their conference, navigating the Big Sky with poise, but the soft spots in their out-of-conference schedule paired with defeats in critical matchups indicate this squad's fate is likely tethered to an automatic bid by clinching their conference tournament.
