Projection: need to automatically qualify

Stony Brook’s profile makes the projection clear because the team has shown it can produce impressive moments yet has too many damaging setbacks to feel safe for an at-large nod. The high-scoring home win over College of Charleston and road victories at Northeastern and Loyola Marymount demonstrate upside and the ability to win away from home, but those bright spots are outweighed by ugly results such as the neutral loss at Pacific, the one-sided defeat at Drexel, a troubling home loss to SUNY Albany and a string of late conference setbacks that expose inconsistency. Without a quality neutral or true road signature win to offset those blemishes and with the defense unable to close out tough games on the road, the only clear path to the Big Dance for this group is to secure the conference’s automatic spot.
