Projection: need to automatically qualify

MA Lowell’s resume leaves little wiggle room because brutal road losses at Connecticut, Iowa and Wake Forest have erased any claim to a marquee nonconference victory while the team’s clearest positives — wins over Bryant, a road victory at Albany and home wins over Sacred Heart and Maine — improve the profile but do not substitute for a signature win away from campus. Repeated struggles at true road and neutral sites and damaging defeats at Columbia, Bradley, Massachusetts and NJIT show the staff and committee would remain unconvinced without a conference title, so winning the America East tournament is the practical necessity. Remaining home dates with New Hampshire and Binghamton, a trip to Vermont and late tests against UMBC and Maine give the squad a chance to build momentum, but that momentum only matters if it is carried into and converted during the league tournament.
