Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bellarmine’s resume has been defined more by damaging defeats on the road at power programs like Georgia and Kansas State and a nonconference setback to Wofford than by its modest wins over teams such as Citadel and Houston Christian, and while a competitive outing at Notre Dame shows the team can hang in tough environments, that effort alone does not replace the missing marquee victory. Upcoming chances against the likes of Kentucky and a road trip to Murray State and the mix of conference road tests at Lipscomb, North Florida and North Alabama provide opportunities to change the conversation but none are guaranteed to deliver the quality signature win a selection committee prizes. With costly losses away from home and no clear high-end résumé win to point to, the most realistic route to the NCAA tournament for this group is to secure the Atlantic Sun’s automatic bid.
