Projection: need to automatically qualify

Northern Arizona's season has been a challenge, marked by a mix of narrow wins against lower-tier opponents and significant losses against both mid-major and major conference teams. The victory against South Dakota stands out as a positive yet is dampened by the defeats to Stanford and Oral Roberts, which showcase the gap in competition levels. The team’s defensive struggles are apparent, particularly in tight games like those against Idaho State and Montana. Upcoming contests against teams like N Colorado and Idaho present critical opportunities for marquee wins; however, the team must improve its consistency and find a stronger defensive strategy to enhance its NCAA tournament hopes, especially if it aims for an automatic bid through the conference tournament.
