Projection: need to automatically qualify
William & Mary projects to need the Coastal automatic because its ledger is built mostly from wins over lesser opponents with only a couple of neutral-site victories and one solid road triumph to point to, while a crushing trip to St John's and a cluster of road losses at Richmond, George Washington, College of Charleston, Monmouth, Drexel, Elon and Hampton leave the committee questioning its ability to beat top teams away from home. The neutral wins over UTEP and Abilene Christian and home victories over Hofstra and Old Dominion are the resume’s brightest spots and the road win at Duquesne shows the program can steal one, but the frequent bad road results undercut that case. Upcoming games at Campbell, a visit from Northeastern, a trip to NC A&T and a home date with Hampton give the Tribe a chance to tidy the record, however those opponents are unlikely to add the marquee signature the committee seeks, so the simplest route into the field is to win the conference tournament.
