Projection: need to automatically qualify
St. Joseph's profile pairs a handful of high-value wins with several ugly losses, so the cleanest path to the field runs through the conference tournament. Tight neutral victories over Princeton and Temple and true road trophies at Loyola-Chicago and Richmond plus a home win over George Washington show the Hawks can win in hostile settings and close games, but blowout setbacks at St. Louis and Virginia Tech and additional road defeats at Syracuse, UNLV and VCU create damaging blemishes that a committee will remember. With meaningful opportunities left at St. Bonaventure and on the road at Rhode Island and Davidson and a favorable home date with La Salle the Hawks can erase those wounds and build an at-large resume, however failing to take care of those chances would leave automatic qualification as the most reliable route.
