Projection: need to automatically qualify

Delaware’s resume reads like a team with some legitimate flashes but enough bad setbacks to leave its standing precarious, with a resume boosted by an impressive road victory over St Peter’s and a solid neutral-site win against UNC Greensboro that prove it can win off campus, yet undermined by lopsided trips to BYU and Bucknell and heavy defeats to Southern Illinois and Iona that create damaging losses on the ledger. The body of work so far lacks a true signature road win and features too many nights where the defense surrendered momentum, so the upcoming opportunities carry real weight: road tests at George Washington, Liberty, New Mexico State and UTEP plus home dates with Missouri State and Louisiana Tech are the kinds of games that can flip perception if won or deepen concerns if lost. Committees reward quality wins away from home and punish bad losses, so until those remaining chances are decided the team’s best neutral results will be measured against the severity of its worst defeats and its thin resume of meaningful victories outside its arena.
