Projection: need to automatically qualify

Queens presents a simple resume: the offense has produced high-scoring home wins over Sacred Heart, Gardner Webb and South Carolina State and a competitive showing at Duquesne, yet those moments are dwarfed by heavy road defeats at Villanova, Virginia, Wake Forest and Arkansas and a road setback at Furman that expose clear vulnerability away from home. There is no signature neutral-site or true road scalp to counterbalance those losses, so the profile reads like a team that can run opponents off the gym floor but struggles against quality opposition in hostile environments. The remainder of the schedule contains multiple road chances at Jacksonville, North Florida and Bellarmine and a tough trip to FGCU along with home tests against Lipscomb and Austin Peay that offer opportunities to earn meaningful resumes wins, but absent a marquee road or neutral victory the most straightforward path to the NCAA field runs through cutting down the nets in conference tournament play.
