Projection: need to automatically qualify
San Jose State’s resume reveals significant challenges that hinder their chances for an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament. With losses to teams like Western Illinois and Pacific, both with subpar performances this season, the Spartans have not demonstrated the ability to secure quality wins that would bolster their standing. Their victories, while notable against weaker opponents like Long Beach State, aren’t enough to offset damaging losses. Looking ahead, matchups against higher-ranked foes such as New Mexico and Boise State will be critical; however, given their current form and weak computer rankings, they must secure a strong finish in the Mountain West tournament to stand any chance of automatic qualification.
