Projection: need to automatically qualify

Utah Tech faces a challenging path to the NCAA tournament, largely due to a lackluster performance in both their conference play and non-conference games. They’ve shown a tendency to struggle against stronger opponents, as evidenced by losses to teams like Oregon State and Utah, where they fell significantly short, and even competitive games against similarly ranked opponents like Utah Valley. While victories against lower-ranked teams like Denver and UT Arlington showcase some potential, their inconsistent defense and inability to secure crucial wins against mid-tier teams means they will likely need to win their conference tournament to earn a spot in the Big Dance. Their upcoming showdown with Southern Utah is pivotal; a win there could boost confidence and momentum, but further slip-ups will diminish their chances dramatically.
