Projection: need to automatically qualify

Monmouth’s resume shows flashes that election committees respect alongside damaging setbacks that keep the profile fragile. The best moments are a gritty neutral-court win over Ball State, a road victory at Lafayette, a home win over Princeton and a tight showing at Syracuse that suggests the team can compete away from home; the worst moments are an ugly road loss at La Salle, a neutral defeat to Le Moyne that undermines nonconference credibility, a loss at Fairfield and a home setback to Quinnipiac that undercut the home-court ledger. The remainder of the slate offers multiple opportunities to bolster the résumé with home games against Drexel, Northeastern, Stony Brook and Elon and a lighter nonconference opponent, but the schedule also includes true road tests at Towson, Hofstra, UNC Wilmington and College Charleston that will determine whether the good moments become a convincing body of work or remain isolated highlights.
