Projection: need to automatically qualify

Robert Morris’ résumé is shaped by genuine road victories and strong home performances but is undercut by a handful of damaging defeats, so the committee sees a team that can beat its peers yet still struggles against higher-end opposition. The high points — the road win at Drake, the road success at Green Bay and comfortable home victories over Illinois Chicago, Southern Utah and Stetson plus wins against Toledo and Youngstown State — show the program can close out games away from friendly gyms and dominate lesser opponents. The low points — the lopsided loss at Iowa, the setbacks at Milwaukee and St. Bonaventure and the stinging home loss to Monmouth — are the kinds of results that stick with evaluators and limit upside. The remaining conference slate, which includes road dates at Detroit, Oakland and Northern Kentucky and home chances against Milwaukee, Wright State and Cleveland State, gives clear opportunities to add meaningful road wins and erase bad losses; how the team performs in those arenas will ultimately determine whether its resume reads as a safe choice or a project that still needs signature wins.
