Projection: need to automatically qualify

Mt St Mary's résumé leaves its NCAA hopes tied to the conference tournament because the nonconference slate featured heavy defeats at power-conference opponents like Ohio State, Maryland and West Virginia that overwhelm the modest positives. Those positives include a road victory at St Francis PA and home wins over Iona and St Peter's but most of the résumé is built on victories over weaker competition and the offense has been uneven while the defense has kept them competitive at times. Damaging road setbacks at Cincinnati, Quinnipiac and Marist expose an inability to win reliably away, and the remaining schedule offers home dates against Quinnipiac and Rider plus road tests at Iona and St Peter's that must be seized. Without a conference championship there is little in this profile to justify an at-large bid.
