Projection: need to automatically qualify

Northeastern’s résumé is defined by a few clear highs and a long list of damaging lows: road wins at Colgate and Harvard and a neutral-site victory over Duquesne show the team can win outside its building, but those moments are overwhelmed by losses at Wake Forest and Syracuse and by a steady string of conference defeats at Hofstra, William & Mary, Drexel and Stony Brook, including ugly showings at Holy Cross and Princeton. The profile shows the club has not landed a signature nonconference scalp that offsets those blemishes and it has struggled to protect both road and home dates against Coastal foes. Given the quality of the defeats and the lack of wins that would compel an at-large berth, the only clear path for Northeastern to reach the big dance is to win the Coastal tournament and grab the automatic spot.
