Projection: need to automatically qualify

Charleston's résumé makes the projection logical because its best moments — a neutral win over Massachusetts and road victories at Hofstra and at UNC Wilmington — prove it can win away from home, yet those flashes are overwhelmed by damaging losses at Liberty, at Belmont, at South Florida and a neutral-site stumble against Towson that give the committee little confidence in its résumé; without a marquee nonconference scalp to offset those setbacks the team lacks the margin for an at-large ticket, so its clearest route to the NCAA field is a deep run in the conference tournament where stringing together more road and neutral successes against Coastal opponents would erase the bad losses and lock up an automatic berth.
