Projection: need to automatically qualify

Delaware has had its moments this season, most notably its win against a strong Xavier program, which shines as the crown jewel of its resume. However, losses to teams like Elon and Rider, who are not at the vanguard of the basketball hierarchy, put a significant blemish on their record. While the win over Xavier is impressive, the consistent inability to notch victories against mid-ranked teams like Hofstra, Drexel, and Towson casts doubt on their reliability as a tournament team. The Blue Hens have shown they can surprise, but without more statement wins, especially in their conference, they would likely find themselves needing to clinch the automatic bid through the conference tournament to punch their ticket to the big dance.
