Projection: need to automatically qualify

American’s resume points squarely to winning the Patriot League as the necessary path to the tournament because the season is split between a handful of solid league road wins and a string of damaging losses to power conference foes and to league rivals away from home. The program has shown it can beat peer opponents, with gritty victories at Bucknell and a home reversal of Colgate and a road escape at Boston University, but those moments are overshadowed by lopsided setbacks at Virginia, George Washington and VCU and by late-season slipups against conference opponents that erode any margin for an at-large case. With no signature neutral-site result against a high-major and with struggles in hostile environments still on the ledger, the safest and most realistic route to the tournament is capturing the league’s automatic berth.
