Projection: need to automatically qualify
Youngstown State's NCAA tournament outlook is largely dependent on its upcoming games in the Horizon League, as its overall resume lacks the strength needed for an at-large bid. The team has had some notable wins, including a solid victory against Wright State at home, but the losses to teams like Ohio State and Syracuse show vulnerability against higher-ranked opponents. The inconsistency shines through with recent defeats to Cleveland State and Robert Morris, two middle-tier teams, which raises concerns about the Penguins' ability to compete consistently. Their best chance to make the tournament will be to perform well in the conference tournament and potentially secure an automatic bid, especially with the fluctuating performance on both ends of the court highlighted by the disparities in offensive and defensive rankings.
