Projection: need to automatically qualify

Given a nonconference slate that produced lopsided defeats at power-conference venues such as Oklahoma, TCU, Florida and Xavier and a neutral-site loss to Belmont, the resume lacks the kind of road or neutral wins a committee rewards, so the team’s pathway to the tournament runs through grabbing its conference’s automatic berth. Its most useful moments are a gritty road win at Wagner and narrow home victories over F Dickinson and Stonehill but those results come against low-tier opposition and do little to erase the damage from blowouts and bad losses away from home. With the remaining calendar dominated by conference home dates like Chicago State and New Haven and pivotal road trips to Central Conn and Le Moyne, those games are its last chances to build momentum and credibility before the league tourney, where a title is effectively required to secure an NCAA spot.
