Projection: need to automatically qualify

Rider's season has been rocky, with a mix of heavy losses against high-profile opponents like UCLA and Iowa that highlight the gap in competition, along with a few narrow wins against teams that struggle themselves. Their lack of dominant victories and inconsistent performance suggests they are not likely to receive an at-large bid. Games against teams like Canisius and Niagara, where they have a fighting chance, will be crucial. Success in these matchups, especially in conference play, is essential to bolster their resume as they aim for the automatic qualifier from the Metro Atlantic.
