Projection: need to automatically qualify

Mt St Mary's season profile makes clear why the most realistic path to the NCAA tournament runs through the Metro Atlantic Conference tournament; the Mount's best moments were road wins at Iona and Loyola Maryland and solid wins over Canisius and Niagara, but those are offset by damaging road defeats to Ohio State, Cincinnati, West Virginia and Maryland and by troublesome home setbacks to Bucknell and Sacred Heart that leave the résumé lacking a true signature win. Conference losses at Merrimack and Quinnipiac and a neutral defeat to Siena deepen the problem because there are no marquee nonconference victories to counterbalance those results. Given a resume built on midmajor triumphs and lopsided losses to power opponents, the season realistically comes down to capturing the conference's automatic bid.
