Projection: need to automatically qualify

Brown’s résumé is a study in contrast: the team’s clearest positives are road wins at Maine and New Hampshire and home victories over Columbia and Bryant coupled with a sturdy defensive outing at Holy Cross, while its ledger is dragged down by heavy home losses to Siena and Cornell and by defeats at Rhode Island and Providence that exposed offensive inconsistency. Those damaging nonconference results and a home stumble against Yale leave little margin for error, so Brown’s remaining Ivy slate — featuring winnable home dates with Harvard and Dartmouth, a pivotal home clash with Princeton and a difficult run of road tests at Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Cornell — becomes decisive. If Brown sharpens its offense and avoids more bad losses away from home the team can repair the résumé, but as constructed the surest path to the NCAA Tournament runs through winning the conference.
