Projection: need to automatically qualify

Stony Brook’s profile is a study in bright flashes and ugly lapses, with a neutral-site road win over Bethune-Cookman and an impressive road victory at Loyola Marymount and home wins over Columbia and Central Michigan showing the team can beat respectable opponents away from its arena, while damaging defeats at Pacific, Yale, Duquesne and surprising home setbacks to SUNY Albany and Marist have undercut that promise and left the resume uneven. The committee will notice the quality of the road and neutral successes when weighing this team but will also weigh how the heavy loss at Pacific and the cluster of road defeats have created a vulnerability that needs fixing. The upcoming stretch presents clear opportunities to firm things up: games at Hampton and William & Mary, a road test at Drexel, and a slate of conference home dates against Hofstra, UNC Wilmington and Charleston are where Stony Brook can replace bad results with resume-building wins and demonstrate the consistency the selection process rewards.
