Projection: need to automatically qualify

Penn's resume lacks the strength needed for at-large consideration, with too many losses against solid competition and a below-par performance in key games. Their victories against weak opponents such as NJIT and Maryland Eastern Shore mask significant struggles, especially evident in their losses to Villanova and George Mason, where they were outclassed. Even in conference play, while they have some wins like the one against Cornell, they stumbled against teams they needed to beat, such as Brown and Harvard, which diminishes their standing. To improve their chances of making the NCAA tournament, they would need to dominate the Ivy League and secure their automatic bid, as their current position offers little room for error.
