Projection: need to automatically qualify

NC A&T’s profile is straightforward: the bright spots are a home victory over South Carolina State and true road wins at Morgan State and at NC Central that show the team can close out games against inferior foes, while the most damaging results are heavy road defeats at South Carolina, at Davidson and at Charlotte that expose a gap when they face better competition away from home. That mix leaves the résumé light on quality wins and heavy on bad road results, and the remaining slate only sparsely supplies opportunities to change that perception; a neutral date with Howard and road tests at UNC Greensboro, William & Mary and UNC Wilmington plus home chances against the likes of Hofstra and Towson are where they must upset stronger opponents to repair the resume. Selection eyes will land on the contrast between their limited signature moments and their clear struggles in true road tests, meaning upward movement requires a string of unexpected wins in the games left on the calendar.
