Projection: need to automatically qualify

Iona’s season has a few genuine highs but too many damaging lows to feel comfortable for an at-large berth: the resume includes a road win at Missouri KC and a neutral-site victory over Oregon State and a strong road showing at Delaware, yet those bright spots are offset by a brutal loss at St John’s, an inexplicable collapse at Marist and neutral-site setbacks against Akron and Wisconsin Green Bay that scream inconsistency. The team has beaten solid league opponents at home but has dropped key games away from campus and failed to cleanly separate itself in the nonconference slate, so the résumé lacks the kind of signature, road or neutral victories that committees prize. Given the mix of a few marquee moments and repeated damaging losses, the practical and realistic path to the field runs through winning the conference tournament, which is where their remaining opportunity must be seized.
