Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)
Hofstra's placement is logical because the résumé features resume-building road wins at Pittsburgh and Syracuse that show the team can win away from home, while its nonconference slate also includes solid road victories and neutral-site triumphs that bolster the profile. Those highs are tempered by damaging setbacks on the road at Iona and UCF and a home stumble against Elon that expose inconsistency and give committee voters pause. Conference play includes important rebound wins such as the response at Col Charleston but a string of close losses to league peers has limited upside. Upcoming opportunities against Stony Brook and Drexel give the program clear, controllable chances to shore up the résumé and turn this standing into an indisputable tournament case.
