Projection: need to automatically qualify

Morgan State’s resume points squarely to the league tournament as the only practical path into the NCAA field. Nonconference play was defined by lopsided losses at marquee programs such as Georgetown, DePaul, California and San Francisco and a miserable trip to Old Dominion, which punched holes in any at-large argument. The team’s strongest moments arrived inside the Mid-Eastern loop, with gutsy road finishes at Delaware State, Howard and Norfolk State and home victories over South Carolina State and Delaware State that show it can win tight games against familiar foes. Those intra-conference wins are real but they are not the kind of signature, quad-defining triumphs away from home that committees prize, and the collection of heavy defeats on true road and neutral sites does real damage. That combination leaves Morgan State dependent on a deep run in the conference tournament to secure its place on the national stage.
