Projection: need to automatically qualify
Hampton’s resume is defined by a gritty road victory at Brown and a string of close wins at home over the likes of Loyola Maryland, Stony Brook and Towson, but those bright spots are offset by a lopsided loss at Virginia and damaging away and neutral setbacks such as the trip to Norfolk State and neutral-site losses to Holy Cross and Howard. The team has repeatedly struggled to close the gap on the road, with disappointing results at conference venues like UNC Wilmington and College of Charleston, so the remaining slate — a run of conference home games, a neutral meeting with NC A&T and a couple of dangerous road tests at Hofstra and Stony Brook — is the only realistic way to add a signature win. Unless Hampton can produce high-profile victories away from home or claim the conference tournament, its overall body of work reads like a squad that must win its league crown to punch a ticket to the big dance.
