Projection: need to automatically qualify

Youngstown State's path to the NCAA Tournament largely hinges on their ability to capture the Horizon League’s automatic bid. Despite some noteworthy performances, like their high-scoring win against Toledo and a convincing victory over Robert Morris, they also have several troubling losses, including a lopsided defeat to Ohio State and another to Presbyterian. The inconsistency in both offensive and defensive play remains a significant concern, demonstrated by their inability to contain opponents like PFW and Cleveland State, leading to substantial losses. Upcoming games against teams like Wright State could prove vital; winning these contests could bolster their standing significantly. However, to secure a tournament berth, they will likely need a strong showing in the Horizon League tournament.
