Projection: need to automatically qualify

San Diego's tournament hopes are tethered to an outright West Coast Conference championship win, given their lack of marquee wins and struggles against high-caliber opponents such as the drubbings by Gonzaga and St. Mary's CA. Their best win against Arizona State is offset by losses to teams like Pepperdine and Santa Clara. The lack of consistency and defensive shortcomings, demonstrated by the number of points they’ve conceded in losses, leaves them vulnerable. To have a puncher's chance, they need to show resilience in the conference tournament, especially in potential rematches against teams that have previously bested them, underscoring the critical need for a conference tournament triumph to punch their ticket to the Big Dance.
