Projection: need to automatically qualify

Youngstown State's resume reveals significant challenges ahead for their NCAA tournament hopes, notably their offensive struggles, especially evident in competitive matchups like their recent loss to Ohio State and the defeat against Presbyterian. While they managed to secure wins against lower-tier opponents, such as their victory over Chicago State and the solid performance against Toledo, the team’s inability to consistently perform against better foes raises concern. Remaining games against teams like Wright State and Cleveland State, which have proven to be formidable in their conference, will be crucial. The Penguins will need to capitalize on victories against these rivals to strengthen their standing, as well as aiming for success in their upcoming contests against teams that present a manageable challenge, especially toward the end of the season. Without a clear path to a strong conference finish, their best shot could be through winning the Horizon League tournament.
