Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Robert Morris’s standing flows from a resume that mixes a handful of resume-building road victories with several damaging defeats, so the simplest truth is that the path to the NCAA Tournament runs through the Horizon Conference title. The high-water marks are genuine: winning on the road at Drake and taking care of business away at Wright State, Cleveland State and Detroit show the team can win hostile games and handle the conference grind. The low points are equally clear and costly for committee perception, most notably the heavy loss at Iowa and the ugly setback at Oakland along with close defeats at Monmouth and at Milwaukee that leave the profile short on signature neutral-site wins. That combination of limited marquee scalps and a handful of bad losses explains why the only reliable way for this roster to improve its standing is to string together wins against recognized conference foes and peak in the Horizon tournament.
