Projection: need to automatically qualify

St. Francis PA has clearly encountered a rough patch this season, with losses stacking up against a variety of teams. When you look at the results against top-tier opponents such as UCLA, they’ve taken quite a beating, which indicates they struggle to compete at a higher level. It doesn't get much brighter when considering their performance within their own conference, dropping games to teams like Central Conn and F Dickinson, who themselves aren't considered powerhouses. This demonstrates a significant challenge in both consistency and facing off against comparable competition. Even in the victories they managed to scrape together against teams like Lehigh and American Univ, the margins were razor-thin. Considering the landscape of their season, they've got to clinch the conference tournament to punch their ticket to the big dance because their overall body of work is unlikely to impress the selection committee.
