Projection: need to automatically qualify

Stony Brook’s resume presents significant challenges for NCAA tournament consideration, primarily due to its overall performance and lack of quality victories. The team has struggled against stronger opponents, as seen in their heavy losses to Marquette and George Mason, which significantly undermine their credibility. While they hold a few wins against lower-ranked teams, such as their narrow victory over Central Michigan and the win against NC A&T, these do little to elevate their profile given the latter's status as one of the weaker programs. Their ability to boost their standing hinges on upcoming games against Hofstra and Monmouth; securing victories there could improve their momentum heading into the conference tournament. However, they will undoubtedly need a strong showing in that tournament to gain the automatic bid necessary for NCAA tournament consideration.
