Projection: need to automatically qualify
UC Riverside's performance this season presents a mixed bag, highlighting both opportunities and challenges. The team's victories against competitive teams like Colorado State and UC Irvine suggest they possess the capability to compete at a higher level, yet their struggles against top-tier opponents, such as Oregon and BYU, expose a lack of defensive consistency that could hinder tournament aspirations. Losses to Idaho and Hawaii, alongside narrow defeats to UC Davis and Cal Poly, indicate vulnerabilities against middle-of-the-pack teams that undermine their overall résumé. The upcoming games against stronger conference opponents are pivotal; winning critical matchups can enhance their standings significantly, while additional losses could jeopardize any hopes of an at-large bid.
