Projection: likely out

St. Joseph's has created some waves in the Atlantic 10, turning heads with a notable upset over Villanova and a competitive showing against Kentucky. However, their inconsistency within the conference, highlighted by losses to teams like Texas A&M Commerce and multiple lower-tier A-10 opponents, doesn't help their case. While their offense showed sparks of efficiency throughout the season, the defensive struggles are a red flag. Victories against Princeton and a second encounter against Richmond in the A-10 Tournament are the bright spots emphasizing their potential. However, with the concerning defensive metrics and the lack of marquee victories outside the conference, aside from Villanova, it's hard to ignore the ups and downs that ultimately shape their tournament credentials. The Hawks' resume thus far shows a team that can surprise but might not have the full body of work needed to secure a spot without a strong showing in the A-10 Championship, given the snags they've hit along the way.
