Projection: need to automatically qualify
Manhattan's profile argues that its only practical path to the NCAA tournament runs through winning the conference championship. It has bright moments, including a neutral-site victory over Utah Tech and road wins at Niagara and Canisius, but those are offset by lopsided road losses at USC, Texas A&M and Hawaii and a damaging loss at Fairfield that undercuts any at-large case. Close conference setbacks to Wagner and Merrimack and recurring struggles away from home leave little margin for error, so Manhattan must use its remaining chances against Marist, St Peter's and Iona to build momentum and then claim the Metro Atlantic crown to reach the field.
