Projection: need to automatically qualify

Rhode Island's resume presents significant challenges for an NCAA tournament bid; their mixed performance in a competitive Atlantic 10 and lack of marquee wins weigh heavily against them. While they’ve secured victories over teams like Yale and Providence, the losses to lower-ranked opponents such as Brown and Fordham diminish their overall standing. The defensive struggles highlighted by games against VCU and Duquesne further complicate their case. Upcoming contests against teams like Dayton and St. Joseph’s are critical; winning those could bolster their prospects, but any further slip-ups could seal their fate as they aim for an at-large bid or potentially need to rely on winning the conference tournament to secure a spot in March Madness.
