Projection: need to automatically qualify

Monmouth’s resume looks the way it does because a few credible victories are offset by several damaging defeats, leaving the committee wanting a signature road or neutral win. They can point to a neutral-site triumph over Ball State, a road victory at Towson and home wins over William & Mary and Princeton while showing toughness in a close game at Syracuse, but those positives are blunted by ugly losses at Seton Hall and La Salle, a home flop against Drexel and an inexplicable neutral loss to Le Moyne. The remaining Coastal slate hands them real chances to change the narrative with road tests at Stony Brook, Drexel, Northeastern and College of Charleston and home chances against Stony Brook, Elon and Towson, and until one or more of those opportunities turns into a signature result the surest path to the NCAA field is to secure the conference’s automatic bid.
