Projection: need to automatically qualify

Mt St Mary’s looks like a team whose only realistic route to the NCAA field is winning the conference tournament because the best parts of the résumé — a road triumph at Loyola Maryland plus home wins over Iona and St Peter’s and a win at St Francis PA — are solid but not signature wins, and they are buried beneath ugly nonconference setbacks such as a heavy loss at Ohio State and clear defeats at Cincinnati and Maryland that leave the profile thin on résumé-changing victories and road success against quality opponents. The remaining slate against Metro Atlantic rivals like Quinnipiac, Rider, Niagara, Canisius and Iona offers chances to build momentum but is unlikely to produce the kind of eye‑catching wins a committee rewards, so the simplest path to the bracket runs through claiming the conference’s automatic berth.
