Projection: need to automatically qualify

Hampton’s résumé is defined by a couple of encouraging moments—a gritty road victory at Brown and comfortable home wins over Loyola Maryland and Maryland Eastern Shore—but those highlights are undermined by a damaging blowout at Virginia and a collection of losses away from home and on neutral floors, including trips to Milwaukee and Boston College and a neutral setback to Holy Cross. The team lacks a marquee road or neutral win over a respected opponent, and the Virginia result in particular will leave a lasting mark with evaluators. The remaining slate includes neutral nonconference opportunities against Howard, Jackson State and Grambling where the program can add necessary resume-building victories, and conference play brings high-leverage road tests at UNC Wilmington and Hofstra plus a pivotal home date with William & Mary. Unless Hampton can grab a signature win away from home or on a neutral court, its most straightforward route into the national field will be through securing the Coastal’s automatic berth.
