Projection: need to automatically qualify

Campbell’s profile leaves little doubt that the cleanest path to the Big Dance runs through the Coastal tournament. Heavy road setbacks at Wisconsin and Gonzaga and uncomfortable outings at Wake Forest, Minnesota and West Virginia mean there are no marquee neutral or road scalps to sell a committee, while home and neutral wins over Western Michigan, UT Arlington and Northeastern and a solid showing against Wisconsin Green Bay demonstrate the team can win but not the kind of signature games that earn an at-large nod. Tight losses away at Weber State, Elon, UNC Wilmington and College of Charleston show the program can compete on the road and provide narrative hooks to flip with a strong finish, and with a string of winnable conference tilts coming up against Stony Brook, William & Mary, Drexel, NC A&T, College of Charleston, UNC Wilmington and Towson the roster still has clear chances to change its standing; until those opportunities are seized the resume argues that the ticket will most likely come by winning the conference.
