Projection: need to automatically qualify

Towson’s resume has clear highs and troubling lows: neutral-site wins over Rhode Island and Liberty and comfortable home victories over Cornell and Sacred Heart show the team can close games with a defensive mindset, but those positives are undermined by heavy losses on the road at Houston, Kansas and UCF and damaging away setbacks at William & Mary and James Madison that expose a real struggle to win outside its own building. The Tigers look like a team capable of grinding out low-scoring affairs, yet they have not consistently turned that identity into true road or neutral-site success, and that inconsistency is something the committee pays attention to. The remaining conference slate offers several obvious opportunities to add quality road wins at places such as Hofstra, Northeastern and Elon or to rack up resume-boosting results against conference opponents at home, so avoiding another bad defeat while picking up a couple of signature wins will determine whether Towson’s profile shifts toward a safer position or remains vulnerable because of those earlier rough road outcomes.
