Projection: need to automatically qualify

Delaware looks like a team that will need to win its conference tournament to reach the NCAA field because its handful of meaningful moments — a road victory at George Washington and a neutral-site win over UNC Greensboro — are overwhelmed by damaging results such as a heavy loss at BYU, a road defeat at Delaware State against a low-level opponent, and lopsided setbacks at Iona and New Mexico State. Home defeats to New Mexico State and UTEP and an overall lack of success away from home leave the resume light on signature wins and invite committee skepticism. The remaining slate includes true chances to reshape the profile with trips to Liberty and New Mexico State and a late matchup with Louisiana Tech, but until those results fall the cleanest path into the bracket runs through the conference’s automatic berth.
