Projection: need to automatically qualify

Army's body of work explains why they would be penciled in as a team that needs to win the Patriot League tournament to reach the national field. Road wins at UMBC and Bucknell and gritty victories over Manhattan and Binghamton show the program can grind out results away from home, but a lopsided home loss to Duke, a heavy defeat at Navy and several nonconference setbacks have diminished the value of those wins. A home loss to Colgate and more league road defeats mean there are few resume-defining wins to present to a committee. The remainder of the regular season, with home opportunities against Holy Cross and Lafayette and difficult trips to Colgate and American, represents the last realistic chance to add signature results, so the simplest path to the big dance for Army runs through an automatic berth.
