Projection: likely out

William & Mary’s profile sends a clear message to a selection committee: the résumé contains bona fide quality wins away at Norfolk State and Bowling Green and neutral-site victories over UTEP and Abilene Christian that prove the team can win outside its own gym, and those are balanced by home wins such as Old Dominion and Radford that preserve baseline credibility, but an ugly loss at St. John’s and setbacks at Richmond and George Washington create a glaring counterpoint that weakens the overall narrative. The road and neutral successes are the foundation of any argument in the team’s favor, yet the severity of the St. John’s defeat and the missed opportunities in those other road games leave the résumé vulnerable, and the remaining conference slate—home dates with Towson and Stony Brook, a trip to College of Charleston, visits to Monmouth and Drexel, plus matchups with UNC Wilmington, Hofstra, Elon, Campbell, Northeastern, NC A&T and Hampton—are the clearest path to repair the damage; wins away from home or on neutral floors in those games will have the biggest impact.
