Projection: need to automatically qualify

UC Davis faces a challenging path to the NCAA tournament, primarily due to a mixed bag of performances and a lackluster overall record against formidable opponents. While they have had some solid wins against teams like UC Santa Barbara and a victory over Grand Canyon, these successes are overshadowed by losses to stronger squads such as Washington and Oregon State, as well as disappointing defeats against lower-tier teams. Their offensive struggles, particularly in high-pressure games, have shown they can falter when it matters, which complicates their bid for an at-large position. They will need to grab crucial victories against top competitors like UC Irvine and UC San Diego to strengthen their case; otherwise, their best shot remains winning the Big West tournament to secure an automatic bid.
