Projection: need to automatically qualify

Hampton's profile leaves them dependent on the Coastal tournament because they lack a signature nonconference victory and carry several damaging road and neutral defeats. Their best moments — a road win at Brown, strong home results against Loyola Maryland and William & Mary and a neutral-site triumph over Jackson State — are outweighed by a lopsided trip to Virginia and ill-timed losses at Boston College, UNC Wilmington and Towson plus neutral setbacks to Howard and Grambling that expose inconsistency away from home. With upcoming true road tests at Hofstra and Stony Brook, a road trip to William & Mary, a home meeting with College of Charleston and only one clearly favorable remaining date against Northeastern, their only realistic route into the NCAA field is to secure the automatic bid in the conference tournament.
