Projection: need to automatically qualify

Drexel’s projection makes sense because its résumé combines respectable home victories and a solid road showing at Monmouth with a string of damaging losses away and on neutral courts that leave it short on a signature win. Tight defeats at American and La Salle and a lopsided neutral loss to Syracuse, plus setbacks at St Joseph’s, Colgate, Charleston and UNC Wilmington, have undercut its tournament credentials. The defense has been the steadier element while the offense has been inconsistent, turning winnable chances into close losses and limiting the team’s ability to headline a nonconference profile. Remaining games offer mostly home dates against lesser opponents and a handful of risky road tests at Campbell, Elon and Hofstra that could help or hurt, so without a clear marquee victory outside the league the most reliable route to the NCAA field is to secure the Coastal’s automatic berth.
