Projection: need to automatically qualify

Towson’s résumé is built on signature neutral-site wins against Rhode Island and Liberty and steady home victories over mid-major opponents like Loyola Maryland and Cornell that showcase a defense that can carry the team, but those positives are undermined by heavy road defeats at Houston and UCF and a discouraging neutral loss to UC San Diego that expose offensive inconsistency. The remainder of the schedule features many winnable home dates and a string of road tests at places such as William & Mary, Elon, Hofstra and Drexel where the Tigers can repair the damage, while the trip to Kansas offers a long-shot chance to land a true statement. Selection committees will reward the neutral wins and home strength yet will be cautious about the costly away losses unless Towson closes the regular season by taking care of its profile games and then makes a run in conference play.
