Projection: need to automatically qualify
Princeton's current trajectory raises significant concerns for their NCAA tournament aspirations. While they boast a couple of wins, including a narrow victory over Iona, they’ve only faced two opponents with a decent ranking and suffered a notable loss to Wright State. Their upcoming schedule presents both opportunities and challenges; a tilt against St. Joseph's could bolster their standing if they secure a win, while tough matchups against Furman and Yale could expose their defensive vulnerabilities further. Additionally, the need to dominate within their Ivy League schedule becomes paramount, especially against teams like Harvard and Cornell, which will be pivotal in shaping their postseason outlook. Without a robust showing in these critical games, Princeton's path to an automatic qualification looks increasingly precarious.
