Projection: need to automatically qualify

Vermont’s profile reads like a team that has flashed quality but lacks the résumé depth to expect an at-large ticket. Its best moments—a neutral-site win over Princeton and road victories at Northeastern, Brown and Pepperdine—are valuable but come against teams that carry limited weight, and they are offset by damaging results such as the lopsided trip to Oregon State, neutral losses to Liberty and Rhode Island, and a close home setback to Yale. In-conference inconsistency, including road setbacks at SUNY Albany, UMBC and NJIT, further undercuts its profile. Remaining home games against MA Lowell and SUNY Albany and the run through the America East tournament are the clearest chances to reshape the resume, so unless Vermont can deliver a signature road or neutral victory or capture the conference crown its path to the big dance runs through the automatic bid.
