Projection: need to automatically qualify
Richmond’s profile has clear highs that prove it can win away from home, most notably the road victories at Belmont and at St Bonaventure and a quality nonconference scalp versus Southern Illinois, yet those flashes are overwhelmed by damaging setbacks such as the blowout at Saint Louis, the lopsided loss to Davidson at home and recurring defeats to George Washington that expose defensive lapses and a struggle to close tight games. Close neutral misses and a string of narrow conference defeats have turned what could have been a resume with a couple of signature moments into one that lacks the clean résumé committee voters reward, so the practical reality is that the Spiders’ most reliable path to the NCAA field is to capture the Atlantic Ten’s automatic berth in the conference tournament.
