Projection: need to automatically qualify

Manhattan’s profile is defined by a handful of gritty results, including a neutral-site victory over Utah Tech and road wins at Niagara and Canisius, but those bright spots are overwhelmed by damaging losses on the road at USC, Hawaii and Texas A&M and by a steady string of conference setbacks at Iona, St. Peter’s, Siena and Fairfield that expose defensive holes and a troubling inability to close out games away from home. Those competitive close wins and narrow losses show the team can hang with opponents, yet the absence of a marquee victory against a quality opponent and the presence of several lopsided defeats leave little hope for an at-large invitation. The only clear path to the national tournament runs through the Metro Atlantic conference tournament.
