Projection: need to automatically qualify

NJIT’s résumé is built around a few encouraging road wins at Fordham and Loyola Maryland and an earlier victory at Vermont that show the team can win away, but those moments are overwhelmed by a string of lopsided defeats on the road at Louisville, Butler, Cincinnati and Drexel and by damaging losses to midmajor opponents including UMBC, leaving the nonconference body of work thin and inconsistent. With mixed results inside the America East and a final trip to Vermont as the most meaningful remaining chance to add a signature win, the team’s realistic route to the NCAA tournament runs through claiming the conference’s automatic bid.
