Projection: need to automatically qualify
Washington's resume currently lacks the quality victories needed to make a strong case for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. Their notable struggles against higher-ranked opponents, such as the loss at Nevada and the upcoming challenging games against teams like UCLA and Illinois, highlight their inconsistent performance. While the wins against UC Davis and MA Lowell provide some momentum, they aren't enough to elevate their standing significantly. Games against teams like USC and Washington State become pivotal; victories in these matchups will be crucial for building a more impressive portfolio. However, without a significant upset or two against the top tier of opponents, their postseason chances hinge on performing well in conference play and possibly securing an automatic bid.
