Projection: need to automatically qualify

Utah Valley faces an uphill battle for an at-large bid, primarily due to a weaker overall profile bolstered by inconsistent performances. The win against Grand Canyon stands out as a strong result, but losses to teams like Stanford and Samford highlight vulnerabilities, particularly against higher-tier opponents. Their recent defeats also demonstrate a tendency to struggle away from home, as seen in losses to North Dakota and Jacksonville State. Moving forward, the team’s chances to improve their standing rely heavily on consistent victories against their remaining opponents, particularly in matchups against Southern Utah and a crucial rematch with Grand Canyon, while maintaining a solid performance in the conference tournament to secure an automatic qualifier.
