Projection: need to automatically qualify

Old Dominion’s profile reads like a team that can grind out league wins but lacks the signature victories and has taken too many damaging defeats to feel safe for an at-large bid, so the most realistic path to the field runs through the Sun Belt tournament. The resume includes useful road victories at Arkansas State, Georgia State and Coastal Carolina and respectable home wins against conference peers, but those positives are offset by lopsided nonconference losses at Xavier and Villanova and damaging road defeats at George Washington and Maryland that leave little room for error. The Monarchs have shown they can win away from home and pick up a neutral-site victory, yet the absence of a marquee scalp and the accumulation of bad losses mean the conference tournament is where their season must be defined.
