Projection: need to automatically qualify

Southern Utah’s resume shows a mixed bag of results but ultimately leans toward the weaker side, making an automatic qualifying route through their conference a necessity for NCAA tournament aspirations. Their losses to strong opponents like UCLA and Arizona highlight the gap in competition faced, while narrow wins against lower-tier teams such as New Mexico State and CS Bakersfield indicate inconsistency, especially on defense. The team's upcoming games against Tarleton State and Grand Canyon will be telling; victories in these matchups could help bolster their standing, but a slip could further sour their already precarious positioning. As they navigate a challenging schedule within the Western Athletic Conference, every victory will be crucial in proving their worth for tournament consideration.
