Projection: need to automatically qualify

Navy's pathway to the NCAA tournament appears challenging given their overall resume, highlighted by disappointing computer rankings and numerous losses against weaker opponents. The defeats to St. Joseph's and Rider expose defensive vulnerabilities, while their inconsistent offense, particularly against teams like Harvard and Penn, raises further questions. Winning against lower-ranked teams like American and Lafayette does little to bolster their case without signature victories. Upcoming games against similarly ranked opponents like Colgate and American provide Navy with opportunities to solidify their standing, but relying solely on wins within the Patriot League might compel them to focus on securing the conference automatic qualifier for a shot at the tournament.
