Projection: need to automatically qualify

New Haven’s profile is shaped more by damage control than by signature victories. Its season includes a gritty road win at MA Lowell and a home victory over Delaware State, but those positives are overwhelmed by lopsided defeats at Connecticut, at Seton Hall and at Penn State and by a troubling home loss to Columbia. The team has struggled away from home, which makes a lack of a marquee nonconference scalp especially costly, and most of the resume’s current wounds come from those road blowouts. The rest of the schedule is heavy with lower-tier conference opponents where New Haven can build a stronger record, while a couple of true road tests at Fordham and LIU and a rare chance against Vanderbilt offer the only remaining opportunities to deliver a resume-changing result. With limited quality wins to point to and several damaging losses already on the ledger, the clearest path is to avoid further bad road defeats and to collect the conference wins that keep postseason options alive.
