Projection: need to automatically qualify

St Joseph’s profile is built on a few eye-opening wins and a string of damaging losses, so the projection that they should have to win their conference for safety is easy to justify. Their best moments include narrow neutral-site wins over Princeton and Temple and a gritty road victory at Richmond plus a big home win over St Bonaventure, all of which show they can beat quality opponents in hostile settings. Those highlights are undermined by lopsided road losses at Virginia Tech and St Louis and a rough trip to UNLV along with setbacks at Syracuse and VCU, results that leave their nonconference and true road résumé thin. With the remainder of the schedule offering mostly middling home dates and a few tricky road tests at Loyola-Chicago and La Salle, the most reliable path to the field runs through winning the Atlantic Ten tournament.
