Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bellarmine’s resume is defined by a couple of solid individual performances and some damaging defeats; the road victory at Citadel and a neutral win over Houston Christian plus a competitive outing at Notre Dame show the team can win away from home and hang with respectable programs, but lopsided losses at Georgia and Kansas State and a home loss to Wofford create a gap in the quality-of-wins column that the committee will notice. The remaining schedule gives clear pathways to repair that damage with home dates against West Georgia, Queens and Stetson and critical road tests at Lipscomb, North Florida and Central Arkansas, while the trip to Kentucky represents a longshot chance for a marquee result. Consistent road and neutral success down the stretch and a strong performance in the conference tournament are the clearest ways for Bellarmine to erase the bad losses and make a compelling case.
