Projection: need to automatically qualify

NJIT is facing a considerable uphill battle for NCAA tournament consideration primarily due to their poor performance in non-conference play and subpar rankings. The losses to teams like Villanova and George Washington showcase their struggles against higher competition, while the narrow win against Morehead State is a highlight that lacks enough context to elevate their resume significantly. Their upcoming games against teams within their conference present critical opportunities to improve their standing, particularly if they can secure wins against fellow contenders like Maine and Vermont. However, with several opponents featuring better rankings, the margin for error is slim, making an automatic qualification essential for any hope of post-season play.
