Projection: need to automatically qualify

Sacred Heart's season has been a mixed bag, highlighted by some troubling defensive shortcomings that could impede their chances of earning a spot in the NCAA tournament. Losses against teams like Temple and Miami, where they struggled significantly on defense, showcased their vulnerabilities. While they have secured victories against lower-ranked opponents like Canisius and Holy Cross, these wins are not sufficient to bolster their resume when paired against a backdrop of inconsistent performance and several close losses to fellow mid-major schools. Their path to the tournament now heavily relies on winning their conference championship, especially since their non-conference performance lacked both marquee wins and defensive prowess, evident in the lopsided loss to a strong UConn team.
