Projection: need to automatically qualify

St Francis PA's profile makes sense as a team that needs the automatic berth because its few bright spots come against lower-tier opponents, with meaningful victories limited to a tough road result at Wagner and home wins over F Dickinson, Stonehill and Chicago State, while its résumé is flattened by heavy defeats on the road against high-major programs at Oklahoma, TCU and Florida and by a neutral-site loss to Belmont, and those lopsided setbacks combined with a pattern of struggles away from home and close losses to regional peers leaves little evidence of a résumé that would earn an at-large invitation; the Northeast tournament therefore becomes the only realistic avenue to reach the big dance and wins over conference rivals such as LIU Brooklyn, Central Connecticut and Wagner in that setting are the remaining, must-win opportunities to change the picture.
