Projection: need to automatically qualify

NJIT's chances for an NCAA tournament berth hinge on their ability to improve within their conference, especially considering their overall performance against competition. They've struggled mightily this season with numerous losses to teams that typically don’t make significant noise, such as their defeats against Morgan State and Loyola Maryland. Their win over Morehead State offers a glimmer of hope, but the inconsistency in their defense and their poor offensive rankings paint a grim picture. Upcoming matchups against Vermont and SUNY Albany will be critical—capturing victories would bolster their status within the America East and provide much-needed momentum. However, even with strong performances, an automatic bid through the conference tournament seems to be the most likely path for NJIT to reach the NCAA tournament.
