Projection: need to automatically qualify

NJIT’s résumé has clear highs and lows. Its best moments include a road win at Fordham, a gritty road victory at Loyola Maryland and home wins over Dickinson and New Haven that demonstrate it can win under pressure. Those highlights are undermined by humbling losses at Louisville, Butler and Cincinnati and a lopsided setback at Drexel that expose offensive inconsistency against higher level opponents. The conference slate provides chances to rebuild with home dates against New Hampshire, Maine, Bryant and Binghamton while road trips to MA Lowell, UMBC and Vermont represent its sternest tests. The road victories help the case but the severity of the bad losses and uneven production away from home mean the upcoming conference stretch will determine how the resume is judged.
