Projection: need to automatically qualify
Portland has struggled significantly this season, particularly on the defensive end, which is evident from their inability to contain opponents like Gonzaga and St. Mary's, where they surrendered over 100 and 80 points, respectively. Their lack of quality wins further complicates their tournament standing; victories against teams like Long Beach State and Oregon State are not enough to lift their resume. Additionally, the loss to UC Santa Barbara highlights their challenges against higher-ranked teams, leaving them in a tough position. To have any hope of tournament qualification, they must capitalize on upcoming games against lower-tier opponents while pulling off a significant upset, as their current trajectory leans heavily toward needing an automatic bid.
