Projection: need to automatically qualify
Rhode Island faces significant hurdles in their pursuit of an NCAA tournament bid. Their schedule includes a mix of wins against weaker opponents, such as Fairfield and Holy Cross, but losses to teams like Duquesne and George Mason raise red flags. The losses to teams outside the top tier and only a modest record in a competitive Atlantic 10 undermine their case. With a shaky defensive ranking and inconsistent performances, especially on the road as seen in their defeats against St. Joseph’s and Loyola-Chicago, the Rams must secure strong finishes in crucial upcoming games to enhance their tournament hopes. Winning against fellow contenders like Fordham is essential if they want to have any shot at an at-large bid.
