Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bryant’s body of work makes winning the America East tournament the only realistic path to the NCAA field because the nonconference slate produced almost no signature victories and the list of damaging road losses is long. Home wins over Dartmouth, Stonehill and UMBC and a road victory at Maine are the few bright spots but they lack the weight the committee rewards next to blowouts at Connecticut, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech and rough trips to Valparaiso and High Point. Conference play has been punctuated by setbacks at Vermont, MA Lowell and SUNY Albany that further diminish an at-large resume, and upcoming chances against Binghamton at home, a league trip to UMBC, NJIT at home and a road date at New Hampshire are the remaining opportunities to rebuild momentum. With minimal quality wins away from home and several severe defeats, the practical path to the tournament runs through the automatic berth.
