Projection: need to automatically qualify

Northeastern's resume faces significant challenges when weighing their overall performance and potential for at-large consideration. Despite some wins against lower-ranked opponents like Boston University and Harvard, losses to teams such as Princeton and CS Bakersfield highlight inconsistencies. The weak offensive metrics further aggravate their standing, as they struggle against tougher competition. Upcoming matchups present a mixed bag; while they have favorable chances against teams like Delaware and Campbell, tougher tests against programs like Northwestern loom large. Without a strong finish and quality wins in the conference, their pathway to the NCAA tournament is heavily reliant on clinching the automatic bid.
