Projection: need to automatically qualify

Holy Cross has shown flashes but not the kind of marquee wins that earn at-large consideration, with a neutral victory over Hampton and tough road wins at Fordham and at American counterbalanced by heavy defeats at Providence, BYU, Utah and Harvard and damaging losses at Brown, Sacred Heart, Lafayette and Navy. The profile is defined more by those setbacks and a lack of quality road or neutral victories than by modest home successes over Bucknell and Army, so the remaining Patriot League slate offers opportunities to clean up the ledger but few chances to manufacture the resume-changing wins the committee looks for. That reality makes the conference tournament title the only realistic route for Holy Cross to reach the NCAA field.
