Projection: need to automatically qualify
Charleston’s résumé combines credible road wins at Hofstra, Northeastern and Northern Kentucky and a neutral victory over Massachusetts with a series of damaging blowouts and bad losses that leave little margin for error; the team’s best moments show it can win away from home, but ugly defeats at Liberty and Belmont and the defensive meltdown at Stony Brook alongside conference setbacks at Towson and UNC Wilmington create more doubt than a committee likes to see. Without a truly marquee victory to flip the narrative, those blemishes will carry extra weight, so the remaining road dates at Campbell, NC A&T, Hampton and UNC Wilmington are the most realistic ways to repair the profile. Until Charleston either collects a signature win or avoids more damaging results, its clearest path to the Big Dance is to secure the league’s automatic berth.
