Projection: need to automatically qualify
Pepperdine's season has been marked by inconsistent performances and a lack of standout victories, making their path to the NCAA tournament very challenging. While they have secured wins against lower-ranked teams like Northern Arizona and UC Davis, their losses to higher-tier opponents, such as Gonzaga and St. Mary's, reveal significant defensive weaknesses and a struggle to perform at a high level in critical games. Additionally, a lack of signature wins against ranked opponents further complicates their resume. Upcoming matchups against teams like Santa Clara will be crucial; a victory could bolster their chances, while further defeats may cement their need to rely on automatic qualification from the conference tournament.
