Projection: need to automatically qualify
SUNY Albany's chances of making the NCAA tournament largely hinge on their performance in the remaining season and conference play. Their non-conference slate shows some troubling losses, particularly against Georgetown and American University, both of which could have provided valuable resume boosts. The losses to mid-level opponents like Army and Fordham also highlight a vulnerability that raises concerns about their overall competitiveness. Given their poor defensive rankings, it's critical they bolster their play on that end, especially when facing teams within their conference. Wins against lower-tier teams like Stony Brook and newcomer matches against Vermont and UMBC will be pivotal; clinching these games could pave the way for a better pathway to an automatic bid. Overall, Albany’s prospects depend on their ability to dominate their remaining Conference games and remedy their defensive shortcomings.
