Projection: need to automatically qualify
Manhattan's profile is shaped by a brutal early slate and a handful of modest highlights: a neutral-site win over Utah Tech and a useful home victory against Fairfield bookend competitive showings in a thriller with Wagner and tight road games at Army and Marist, but those moments are swamped by lopsided defeats on trips to USC, Hawaii and Texas A&M that exposed defensive shortcomings. The nonconference gauntlet proved the team can compete at times but delivered too few signature road wins, so the season now hinges on converting conference opportunities into résumé-enhancing results. Road tests at Fordham, Quinnipiac and Iona and other league venues are the clearest path to repair the profile and home dates against Rider, St Peter's and Sacred Heart are chances to pile up clean wins, and failure to take advantage of those chances will leave Manhattan with very little margin for error when the field is set.
