Projection: need to automatically qualify

Rider's season has been characterized by a challenging schedule and inconsistent performances; their record reflects struggles against higher-ranked teams such as UCLA and Iowa, where they faced significant defeats. Although they notched some wins against lower-ranked opponents like Coppin State and Fairfield, their poor offensive metrics raise concerns about their ability to compete effectively. To improve their standing, they must capitalize on upcoming games against teams they have a reasonable chance of beating, such as Canisius and Niagara, but even a couple of losses in these matchups could spell trouble for their postseason hopes. Ultimately, the necessity for a strong finish in the conference tournament seems apparent, as that may be their only opportunity to secure an NCAA tournament berth.
