Projection: need to automatically qualify

Le Moyne’s resume leaves little margin for an at-large bid and points squarely to needing the conference’s automatic berth; the program’s best evidence includes road wins at Lafayette, Binghamton, Chicago State and F Dickinson and a gritty neutral-site victory over Monmouth plus home wins over Niagara, but those are wins over low-end opponents that won’t carry much weight. The damage is hard to ignore: lopsided losses at Texas, Bowling Green and Massachusetts and nonconference setbacks at Xavier and St Bonaventure combined with road defeats at LIU Brooklyn and Wagner show a team that struggles away from its building. With winnable opportunities remaining at Central Conn and at Stonehill along with a home game against F Dickinson and a trip to New Haven, Le Moyne can still change its fate, but given the thin top-end resume and the severity of several losses, its safest path to the national tournament is by securing the conference’s automatic spot.
