Projection: need to automatically qualify

Southern Utah's overall performance suggests they are in a precarious position heading into the NCAA tournament. Their wins against Florida International and Northern Arizona are respectable, but those victories are overshadowed by poor showings against much stronger opponents like UCLA and Arizona, where the margins were significant. Their lack of consistent wins against teams with higher standings reflects a weak resume that may not hold up well in selection discussions. With several upcoming games against teams like Grand Canyon and Utah Valley, they must secure these wins to improve their standing. However, if they continue to struggle against tougher competition, their chances for an at-large bid will diminish, leaving them with the automatic qualification route as their best option.
