Projection: need to automatically qualify

New Mexico State's path to the NCAA tournament is fraught with challenges, primarily stemming from the inconsistency in their performance against quality opponents. For instance, their losses to teams like Dayton and UNLV highlight struggles against top-tier competition, which raises questions about their ability to compete in a high-pressure tournament setting. While key wins against New Mexico and UTEP show that they can pull off strong performances, their overall resume is marred by several narrow victories and defeats against lower-ranked teams like Bowling Green and Abilene Christian. To solidify their tournament hopes, they will need to make a significant impact in their remaining games against Middle Tennessee State and Western Kentucky, both of which are crucial for enhancing their profile.
