Projection: need to automatically qualify

Robert Morris is in the position of needing the Horizon’s automatic bid because its resume pairs a handful of eye-catching road wins with a string of damaging setbacks and few true marquee victories to sell an at-large case. The Colonials showed they can win away from home when they beat Drake and later took care of business at Cleveland State and Wright State, and they notched solid league wins over the likes of Oakland and Youngstown State, but those peaks are undercut by a humbling trip to Iowa and troubling losses at Monmouth and St. Bonaventure along with road slips at Milwaukee and a home defeat to Northern Kentucky. That combination of good conference form and a shortage of signature wins against top opponents leaves little room for error, so the clearest route onto the NCAA bracket is to run through the Horizon tournament and claim the automatic berth.
