Projection: need to automatically qualify

San Diego's season has been challenging, highlighted by numerous losses against higher-ranked opponents like Gonzaga and St. Mary's, which have exposed their defensive vulnerabilities. Their overall record, combined with weak computer rankings, puts them on shaky ground in the tournament discussion. Wins against teams like Boston University and Pacific have offered some respite; however, the narrow victory over a lower-tier Rider team raises concerns about their ability to consistently compete at a higher level. Upcoming games, particularly against Washington State and Portland, are crucial — while they have a chance against Portland, a strong finish in these matchups is vital for their chances at an automatic qualification, given their current standings and performances.
