Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cleveland St’s resume reads like a team that can light up the scoreboard in flashes but struggles to stop opponents in unforgiving settings, a reality reflected in a neutral-site win over Radford and a gritty road outing at Loyola-Chicago contrasted with heavy defeats at Northwestern and Missouri and league losses at Kent and Valparaiso. The remaining schedule offers plenty of opportunities to steady the ship with home dates against Detroit, IUPUI and WI Green Bay and a chance to build momentum against Oakland, yet there are also road tests at UAB, Wright St and Robert Morris that will be true barometers of growth. With the best moments coming in limited settings and the most damaging results coming away from home against stout competition, the clear storyline is that Cleveland St’s path forward runs through cleaning up the conference slate and proving it can win meaningful games on the road or at neutral sites.
