Projection: need to automatically qualify

Le Moyne's résumé points to needing the conference's automatic bid because its best wins, like home victories over Niagara and New Haven, are against lower-tier midmajors while every true road test at Xavier, Texas, Boston College and St. Bonaventure ended in defeat and a neutral-site split that included a win over Monmouth and a loss to Ball State produced no signature victory a selection committee could build a bid around. Competitive setbacks at LIU Brooklyn, Wagner and Central Connecticut show the team can hang in games away from home but not with the consistent road and neutral success that earns at-large consideration so the practical path to the NCAA tournament runs through winning the Northeast championship.
