Projection: need to automatically qualify

Towson’s profile reads like a team whose stout defense and a handful of neutral-site victories keep it in the conversation but whose collection of damaging road and home setbacks leaves little margin for an at-large ticket, so the practical outcome is that the automatic path is their clearest route. The defense showed up in wins over Loyola Maryland, Norfolk State and Sacred Heart and in neutral wins over Rhode Island and Liberty, and they picked up quality road wins at Northeastern and Elon, yet heavy losses at Houston and Kansas and damaging defeats at UCF, William & Mary, Hofstra and Monmouth plus an unexpected loss at NC A&T undermine the resume. With the offense inconsistent and no signature road win against an elite opponent, the committee will be looking for a Coastal tournament run in which they beat familiar rivals such as Hofstra or UNC Wilmington on a neutral floor.
