Projection: need to automatically qualify

Brown’s profile makes clear why the practical path to the NCAA tournament runs through winning the Ivy; a handful of respectable wins, including a home victory over Columbia and road wins at Maine, New Hampshire and Dartmouth, show the program can win away from home but those positives are washed out by damaging losses at Providence and Boston University and heavy setbacks to Yale and Cornell that leave the selection committee with little appetite for an at-large nod. Remaining Ivy opportunities, notably a home date with Princeton and road trips to Columbia and Cornell plus a season-ending home game with Penn, give the team chances to change the narrative, yet with so few marquee victories and several resume-hollowing defeats the cleanest, most reliable route to the bracket is to claim the conference’s automatic spot.
