Projection: need to automatically qualify
St. Joseph's current standings indicate they're in a challenging position for at-large consideration, primarily due to a mix of strong wins and unfortunate losses. Victories against Villanova and Texas Tech are strong highlights that help establish their credibility, yet losses to teams like Princeton and Central Connecticut hamper their overall impression. The team's defensive struggles signal vulnerability, as they've had difficulty narrowing gaps against opponents, particularly notable against higher-ranking teams. Upcoming games against Loyola-Chicago and VCU will be critical; winning those could bolster their resume significantly, while losses would likely jeopardize any remaining chances for an at-large spot. Ultimately, their path to the tournament now heavily leans on securing an automatic bid through the Atlantic 10 tournament.
