Projection: need to automatically qualify

Central Conn’s profile is built around a couple of eye‑catching road wins, most notably at Boston College and at Rutgers, which show the team can beat higher‑level opponents away from home, but those highlights are undermined by several bad losses such as the heavy defeat at Quinnipiac and the lopsided trip to Seton Hall plus surprising setbacks to Fairfield and at Mercyhurst that leave the overall resume vulnerable; the high‑scoring home win over Sacred Heart looks flashy but offers little résumé lift compared with the damaging losses at Massachusetts, Northeastern, and LIU Brooklyn, and while the remaining slate that includes Le Moyne, a road date at Chicago State, Mercyhurst and St Francis PA presents winnable chances to close the regular season strong, those games are unlikely to deliver the kind of marquee wins that erase the bad losses, so the clearest route to the NCAA field runs through winning the conference’s automatic berth.
