Projection: need to automatically qualify
NJIT's current standing severely limits their chances for an at-large bid, largely due to their poor performance against teams both in and outside their conference. Losses to programs like Villanova and Loyola Maryland underscore weaknesses in both offensive and defensive efficiency, while their victories against the likes of Morehead State and Navy don't carry enough weight to enhance their resume significantly. Upcoming games are critical, especially matchups against teams like UMBC and Maine, where they have a slightly better chance to secure wins. However, even these contests are against programs that struggle themselves, making it crucial for NJIT to aim for a strong showing in the America East tournament to have any hope of a NCAA tournament berth.
