Projection: need to automatically qualify

Road victories at Fordham and Loyola Maryland and a high‑powered home performance against Dickinson show NJIT can win away from its arena and score in bunches, yet those positives are erased by demoralizing road losses at Louisville and Cincinnati and a lopsided setback at Drexel that will stick with a committee. Additional nonconference defeats at Navy, Eastern Michigan and High Point deepen concerns about consistency away from home and leave the resume without a marquee neutral‑site scalp, so the remaining slate, highlighted by a challenging trip to Butler, the road date at Penn and the cluster of America East tests at Vermont, UMBC and Bryant alongside home games against New Haven and Sacred Heart, is where meaningful repair must happen. Committees prize road and neutral wins over quality foes and punish damaging road blowouts, and until NJIT turns some of those looming tests into statement wins the damage from earlier losses will carry more weight than the bright spots on the resume.
