Projection: need to automatically qualify

Utah Tech’s chances of making the NCAA tournament hinge on their ability to dramatically improve their current resume, which is hindered by multiple losses. The defeats against teams like Oregon State and New Mexico State reflect struggles against stronger opponents, showcasing issues both offensively and defensively. The team's overall weak performance against solid competition, evident in their substantial margin losses to teams like Utah and Boise State, exacerbates their situation. Upcoming matchups against teams such as Tarleton State and Southern Utah offer potential opportunities for much-needed wins; however, their precarious win probabilities in these games suggest that consistency is a major concern. To have any shot at tournament inclusion, Utah Tech must capitalize on these opportunities, particularly against weaker conference foes, or risk further damage to their already slim chances.
