Projection: need to automatically qualify
Manhattan’s résumé contains a handful of respectable flashes, most notably a neutral-site victory over Utah Tech and a gritty road win at Rider, but those highlights are offset by ugly results away at USC and Texas A&M and by lopsided conference setbacks at Fordham and Fairfield along with narrow defeats to league peers such as Wagner and Army. With a stretch of conference games remaining that includes Rider, Mt St Mary’s, St Peter’s, Sacred Heart, Niagara, Canisius, Marist and Iona there are clear opportunities to add resume-repairing wins yet also obvious road tests that could deepen the damage, so the team’s most reliable route onto the tournament field runs through earning the conference’s automatic berth.
