Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bryant’s profile reads like a team that has shown it can beat its peers but has not grabbed any signature moments to sell an at-large case; modest home victories over Dartmouth, Stonehill and UMBC and a gritty road win at Maine demonstrate the baseline, and tight road showings at Iona and Harvard offer some promise, yet those positives are overwhelmed by lopsided road defeats at Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and Connecticut and a damaging home setback to MA Lowell that leave the résumé thin. The bulk of the remaining slate is made up of routine conference home dates against Binghamton, New Hampshire, SUNY Albany and NJIT along with difficult road trips to Vermont and UMBC that are the last clear chances to improve perception. With so few quality scalps and so much damage from bad losses, the most realistic route to the NCAA field for this Bryant team is to secure the America East’s automatic berth.
