Projection: need to automatically qualify

Marist’s profile makes the projection obvious because its season is defined by a handful of encouraging moments and a set of damaging setbacks; the team’s best moments include a dominant home demolition of Iona, gritty road victories at Canisius and Niagara, and a neutral-site win over Quinnipiac in the conference tournament, yet those highlights are overwhelmed by costly defeats at Merrimack, at Siena and at St Peter’s and by close road losses at Xavier and Georgia Tech, leaving the nonconference slate light on marquee wins and the worst results occurring away from home; with that combination, the only reliable path to the big dance is to claim the conference’s automatic berth.
