Projection: need to automatically qualify

Portland State's season has been a mixed bag, with significant weaknesses showing up in both their offensive and defensive metrics. Losses against higher-ranked opponents, like Washington State and St. Thomas, highlight struggles to compete against better teams, while close wins over weak opponents such as Denver and CS Bakersfield suggest they might struggle against quality competition. Additionally, their conference play will be crucial; winning against teams like Montana State and Montana will help bolster their resume, but continued losses, particularly to bottom feeders, could severely damage their chances. The upcoming games are pivotal, as victories can shift their standing, but facing the pressure of must-win scenarios is daunting, and any slip-up could end their hopes for an NCAA berth.
