St. Francis PA’s nonconference slate did significant damage to its resume because true road dates at power programs and neutral-site tests against strong mid-majors resulted in multiple heavy defeats and left the team without a signature win. The clearest positive was a competitive outing against Mount St. Mary’s, but that was swamped by lopsided losses at Oklahoma, TCU and Xavier and neutral setbacks to Belmont and Troy that underline how much this roster has struggled away from home. What follows is a stretch of home and conference opportunities against opponents such as Robert Morris, Fairleigh Dickinson, Chicago State, Stonehill, LIU Brooklyn and Wagner where steady victories and a meaningful run in the conference tournament are the only realistic way to repair the resume and change how the season will be judged.
