Projection: need to automatically qualify

Delaware’s résumé contains some genuine road victories — notably at George Washington and at New Mexico State — and gritty wins away at Missouri State and Florida International that show they can win in hostile settings, but those bright spots are outweighed by damaging results such as a lopsided loss at BYU, a heavy neutral defeat to Northern Illinois, a home blowout by Iona and a stunning setback at Delaware State that undercuts the profile. Conference play has been erratic with tight wins but too many losses to UTEP and Liberty that sap credibility. The remaining slate, including a home date with Western Kentucky and road trips to Middle Tennessee, Jacksonville State, Kennesaw and Sam Houston State plus a matchup with Louisiana Tech, gives Delaware chances to rebuild momentum but does not offer a marquee win that would erase earlier damage. With scarce signature victories, several resume wounds and only modest remaining opportunities, the clearest route to the NCAA field is winning the automatic berth.
