Projection: need to automatically qualify

Oregon State’s résumé leaves little margin for error so their surest path into the NCAA field is winning the West Coast Conference tournament. They have flashed the necessary toughness with road victories at Arizona State and at San Francisco and San Diego and they also grabbed a neutral-site win over San Francisco, but those high points are undercut by damaging non-conference setbacks to lesser opponents and by heavy losses at Santa Clara and at St. Mary’s that weaken their case. Inconsistent home form and several other defeats away, including trips to Oregon and Pacific, mean the program’s best hope is a hot streak of neutral-site wins over conference stalwarts such as San Francisco or Gonzaga to lock up a spot.
