Projection: need to automatically qualify

Mt. St. Mary's has faced serious challenges this season, highlighted by their struggles against higher-caliber opponents. Key losses to the likes of Maryland and Georgia, paired with inconsistent performances within their own conference, exemplify their struggles to secure crucial wins. Moreover, their inability to consistently beat teams lower in the rankings, such as the defeats to Manhattan and Canisius, reveals a vulnerability in both offense and defense that casts a shadow on their tournament credentials. It's not just about the losses, but who they've lost to and how—significant blowouts to Fairfield and a handful of disappointing defenses against lower-ranked teams are blemishes on their record. Even within the context of their own conference, the inconsistency they've displayed doesn't build a strong case for an at-large bid. Their path to the big dance would likely necessitate a strong showing in their conference tournament, proving they can string together wins when it counts the most.
