Projection: need to automatically qualify

As a seasoned bracketologist parsing through Pacific's season, the evidence is clear: this team faces an uphill battle to make a case for the NCAA tournament. The Tigers' overall resume simply lacks the high-quality wins that the selection committee typically covets. Though the victory against California stands out as a bright spot, the heavy defeats to Nevada, St Mary's CA, and the pair of losses to a powerhouse like Gonzaga highlight the challenges they've faced against stronger competition. Consistent setbacks within their conference, especially to teams like San Francisco and Santa Clara, further underline the difficulty Pacific would have in a tournament setting. As it stands, their ticket to the dance almost certainly hinges on running the gauntlet and capturing the conference tournament crown, earning that automatic bid, as their regular season has not been persuasive enough to warrant at-large consideration.
