Projection: need to automatically qualify

Albany’s profile shows a team that has flashes of competence inside its league but has been routinely overmatched outside it, with tough road trips at Marquette, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and South Carolina and neutral-site setbacks versus Colgate and Yale exposing its inability to beat high-end opposition; its best moments are road wins at Stony Brook and gritty victories at Bryant and Binghamton plus a home win over Vermont, but those are outweighed by a string of heavy losses away from home and split results against lesser conference foes, so the committee would see too little quality resume-building and limited room for error, leaving a conference tournament title as the clearest path to the NCAA field.
