Projection: need to automatically qualify

Stony Brook’s profile reads like a team with upside but also clear liabilities: a resume boosted by a gritty road victory at Loyola Marymount and a neutral-site win over Bethune-Cookman along with home victories over Maine and Brown, yet undercut by a lopsided neutral defeat to Pacific and road setbacks at Yale and Duquesne that raise questions about consistency away from its building. The nonconference slate hasn’t produced a truly signature scalp and the conference schedule still presents pivotal opportunities to change perception on the road at William & Mary and Towson and in meaningful home dates against Charleston and Northeastern. Those competing narratives — demonstrated ability to win tough spots tempered by damaging losses and a schedule that hasn’t furnished many resume-defining wins — make its standing hinge on how it handles the upcoming conference stretch.
