Projection: need to automatically qualify

Morgan State’s résumé is defined by a mix of competitive moments and damaging setbacks, so the current evaluation follows the on-court evidence. The victory over Niagara is a bright spot but not a marquee scalp, while tight games at UMBC and against Drexel and Longwood show the team can hang in contests. Those positives are overwhelmed by heavy defeats on the road at DePaul, at California and at San Francisco and by a brutal loss at Old Dominion that exposed defensive and offensive shortcomings away from home. The conference slate still contains a series of winnable opportunities at home and a handful of road trips to familiar Mid-Eastern opponents such as Howard, Delaware State and Coppin State where a sustained run could alter the picture. Given the lack of quality wins outside the league and the severity of several nonconference losses, the most straightforward way for Morgan State to change its standing is to take advantage of those conference chances and put together a meaningful streak.
