Projection: likely out
Northern Colorado's overall performance thus far raises concerns about their chances for the NCAA tournament. They showcased competitiveness in close game losses against higher-ranked teams like Colorado and Washington State, indicating potential, but their defense has struggled, evident in those matchups where they allowed substantial points. To bolster their resume, they need to secure wins against middle-tier opponents such as St. Thomas and North Dakota State, while avoiding hiccups against weaker teams like Air Force. Performing well in conference play against teams like Idaho State and Weber State will be crucial, as these games will define their postseason prospects.
