Projection: need to automatically qualify

Rhode Island has shown some offensive firepower, highlighted by strong wins against teams like Yale and Providence, but their overall inconsistency is troubling. Notably, they’ve struggled against tougher opponents, such as their significant losses to VCU and Dayton, which reflect weaknesses on both ends of the court. The close contests against teams like George Mason and La Salle indicate some competitive spirit, but the multiple losses—especially against teams ranked lower than them—raise doubts about their ability to secure an at-large bid. To improve their standing, they’ll need to capitalize on upcoming games and ideally win key matchups against fellow A-10 contenders to enhance their résumé.
