Projection: need to automatically qualify

Temple's current trajectory suggests that they will need to secure the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, mainly due to a lackluster overall resume highlighted by a few concerning losses against teams like Boston College and La Salle. Their victories over lower-ranked opponents like Sacred Heart and Massachusetts show potential, but the team has struggled against tougher competition, as evidenced by decisive defeats against Villanova and Florida State. Upcoming games against Wichita State and Memphis will be critical; winning either could solidify their standing, while losses may further diminish their chances. Additionally, consistency in performances against teams like East Carolina and Rice, who are also middle-tier opponents, will be vital in shaping their postseason outlook.
