Projection: need to automatically qualify

Portland State's resume highlights significant challenges, particularly in their overall performance throughout the season, where they struggled against stronger opponents like Washington State and St. Thomas, suffering hefty defeats. Even in victories over teams like Wofford and Idaho, the margins were unconvincing, pointing to inconsistencies on both ends of the floor. Their offensive ranking does not inspire confidence, and a defense that can allow high scoring games, such as the losses to Montana and Milwaukee, raises red flags. With matchups against teams like Northern Colorado and Montana State showing some potential for strong performances, they’ll need to capitalize on these opportunities and secure decisive wins. Without a substantial improvement, including a strong finish in the conference tournament, their best bet remains to automatically qualify through conference play.
