Projection: need to automatically qualify
St. Francis PA's résumé makes it clear that the only realistic path to the NCAA tournament is winning the conference tournament because the nonconference slate produced lopsided defeats at power-conference sites such as Oklahoma, TCU and Florida and neutral-site setbacks to Belmont and Xavier, while the program's limited bright moments — a narrow road win at Wagner, a tight home victory over F Dickinson and a solid home showing against Chicago State — are outweighed by damaging road losses at LIU Brooklyn and Mercyhurst and an inability to win consistently away from campus. With signature victories absent and the worst results coming on the road, the scheduled conference dates at Stonehill and Central Conn and the home matchups with LIU Brooklyn and Wagner represent the final meaningful opportunities to rebuild credibility before the league tournament.
