Projection: need to automatically qualify

Morgan State shows it can win in its league but has offered little to convince a selection committee beyond conference play. Its best moments came in gritty road victories at Delaware State, Howard and Norfolk State and in home wins over fellow MEAC opponents like Coppin State, but those successes are against low-tier league competition and several came down to the final possession. The damage is in the nonconference ledger where blowout trips to Georgetown, Old Dominion, DePaul, California and San Francisco and a heavy loss at Loyola Marymount undercut any claim of being competitive against higher-level teams, and close losses to UMBC and NC A&T failed to produce a signature road or neutral win. With no meaningful wins away from home against quality opponents and a recent neutral-site stumble, the only realistic path to the NCAA tournament for Morgan State is winning the conference tournament where familiar foes await and where they can earn an automatic spot.
