Projection: need to automatically qualify

Northern Arizona's path to the NCAA tournament is a challenging one, primarily due to their inconsistent performance against both strong and weaker opponents. They have struggled against higher-ranked teams, like their loss to Stanford, where they were bested by a significant margin, highlighting issues in their defense. While they secured some wins against lower-caliber teams, such as Idaho State and E Washington, these victories don't carry enough weight to bolster their resume significantly. Their recent record shows a mix of Valley wins and losses against teams like Montana and North Colorado, which further complicates their standing. To improve their tournament chances, they must capitalize on upcoming games, particularly in conference play, where each win can enhance their position for an automatic qualifier.
