Projection: need to automatically qualify

New Hampshire's path to dancing in March hinges on an America East tournament victory, plain and simple. Their overall season and out-of-conference play lack signature wins that might boost their resume, with losses to higher-ranked opponents like Syracuse and Iowa State while also falling to teams in their weight class such as MA Lowell and Bryant. They've been consistent against the lower-tier competition but have struggled with upper-echelon teams in their conference like Vermont. Despite a win against Rhode Island, underwhelming offensive and defensive metrics combined with missed opportunities for statement wins—particularly in conference play—leave them on the outside looking in without a conference championship. Their body of work is simply not strong enough for an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament this year.
