Projection: need to automatically qualify
UC Davis faces a challenging road ahead if they hope to secure an NCAA tournament bid, primarily due to their inconsistency and a weak overall resume. Their close loss to Washington and solid performances against teams like Grand Canyon show flashes of potential, but the lopsided defeats, particularly against Oregon State and Pepperdine, raise red flags about their viability in high-stakes matchups. Victories against UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly are encouraging, yet their ability to compete in the Big West's upper echelon remains in question. Future matchups will be crucial; a strong finish against teams like UC Irvine and UCSB could bolster their standing, but continued struggles will diminish any chance of an at-large bid.
