Projection: need to automatically qualify

Mercyhurst’s résumé centers on a signature road victory at Loyola‑Chicago and solid nonconference home wins over Morgan State and Binghamton, but those bright spots are offset by brutal road losses at major‑conference stops such as West Virginia, Davidson, Syracuse and Northwestern that undermine the team’s profile against top competition. The pattern is clear to a committee: quality comes mostly from wins over lower‑level opponents while the losses expose offensive inconsistency and an inability so far to win away from home when the opponent is elite. The remaining conference slate offers straightforward chances to rebuild credibility with road tests at LIU Brooklyn, Wagner, Central Connecticut and New Haven and home dates against Stonehill, Chicago State and St Francis PA where wins would matter a great deal. Control of Mercyhurst’s postseason fate will come down to turning those conference opportunities into dependable road and neutral results and arriving at the league tournament with momentum.
