Projection: need to automatically qualify

Central Conn’s résumé is anchored by road wins at Boston College and Rutgers that show the team can win away from home, but those signature victories are offset by emphatic losses at Quinnipiac and Seton Hall and a poor road outing at Northeastern that expose offensive inconsistency. A close game at Massachusetts suggests they can hang with better competition on a given night, yet the overall body of work still lacks multiple quality wins and contains damaging defeats that committees treat skeptically. The remainder of the schedule features conference dates against Binghamton, Fairfield, LIU Brooklyn, New Haven, Stonehill, St Francis PA, Le Moyne, Mercyhurst, Wagner and Chicago State and offers plenty of chances to rebuild the résumé, but until Central Conn adds another road or neutral victory the conference tournament carries outsized importance and defensive steadiness will have to compensate for an uneven offense.
