Projection: need to automatically qualify

NJIT's season has been fraught with challenges, as their performance shows a lack of consistency against both formidable opponents and similarly ranked teams. Key losses to the likes of Miami FL and Wake Forest revealed the depth of the struggle against higher-tier teams, while the defeats against regional competitors such as St. Peter's and American University speak to broader issues in execution. However, victories against MA Lowell and a surprise win over Vermont demonstrate the potential for upsets. The Highlanders will need to harness the energy from those wins for their conference tournament, where they must secure the automatic bid to make an appearance in the NCAA tournament, as their current resume is unlikely to persuade the selection committee for an at-large bid.
