Projection: need to automatically qualify

Stony Brook’s resume shows flashes of quality but not the kind of marquee neutral-site signature that earns an at-large bid, so its clearest path to the NCAA tournament is to win the Coastal title. The team’s best moments — gritty road victories like the trips to Loyola Marymount and Northeastern and home wins over Hofstra and College of Charleston — prove it can beat solid opponents, yet those are offset by damaging setbacks such as the heavy neutral loss to Pacific and poor showings at William & Mary and against Drexel that committee voters will remember. With no standout nonconference neutral win and blemishes both away and at home, the remaining games at Drexel and Hampton, the road tests at Monmouth and Hofstra, and the home date with Towson are the last opportunities to bolster the résumé before the conference tournament arrives.
