Projection: need to automatically qualify

Boston University's profile is built around a handful of bright moments but too many damaging setbacks. The road victory at Northeastern and the neutral-site win over Harvard, paired with a statement home performance against Colgate and key league wins at Army and at Bucknell, show the team can beat quality opponents away from comfort and close tight games. Those resume builders are outweighed by a lopsided loss at Northwestern and ugly nonconference setbacks at New Hampshire, Merrimack and Maine along with road defeats at major-conference stops such as Penn State, and those blemishes leave the selection committee unconvinced. With a scarcity of signature road wins and several bad losses scattered through the nonconference slate, the clearest path to the national tournament runs through winning the Patriot League tournament.
