Projection: need to automatically qualify
Sacred Heart's chances of making the NCAA tournament are heavily reliant on winning their conference. Their non-conference schedule has not been kind to them, as losses to teams like Temple and Connecticut reflect a significant gap in competition. Their results against weak opponents, combined with a poor defensive ranking, reveal vulnerabilities that won't hold up against stronger teams. Upcoming games, particularly those against conference rivals like Siena and Iona, will be critical. Their ability to secure victories in these matchups will be key for not only building confidence but also improving their standings in the conference. If they falter against teams like Canisius and Manhattan, it will further diminish their chances of earning an at-large bid.
