Projection: need to automatically qualify
Rhode Island's season has been a roller coaster, with flashes of quality wins undermined by a series of crushing defeats. High points like their rallying victories over respectable competition within the Atlantic 10 and non-conference play were offset by a bevy of losses, both to highly-ranked foes and to teams they would have hoped to beat. Erratic performance in key road games and a tendency to stumble against lower-ranked conference opponents have chipped away at their tournament resume. Clutch wins in the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament could have redeemed them, but instead, setbacks there served to reinforce the notion that, while capable of upsets, consistency is not their strong suit. Their journey suggests that without a major conference tournament victory to automatically punch their ticket, earning an at-large bid to the dance is likely out of reach.
