Projection: need to automatically qualify

Utah Tech’s tournament hopes hinge on its ability to turn around a challenging season marked by significant struggles against better competition, as evidenced by losses to Oregon State, New Mexico State, and Boise State, among others. Their lack of consistent success, particularly in high-pressure games against mid-tier teams like Utah Valley and Cal Baptist, raises concerns about their postseason viability. They have seen some victories, but they are few and far between against lower-ranked competition, leaving them with a deficient resume. To enhance their chances, they need to secure wins against teams like Seattle and maintain momentum leading into the conference tournament, where a strong performance could provide the automatic qualification needed to get in.
