Projection: need to automatically qualify

Harvard's profile makes clear why they need to win the Ivy to reach the NCAA tournament. Their best moments include a gritty road victory at Colgate and conference wins over Princeton and Penn that show they can deliver when it matters in league play. Their worst moments are the lopsided loss at St John's, ugly results at major conference venues, and a close neutral-site defeat to Boston University that leave the nonconference résumé short on a signature scalp. Most victories are against low-major opposition so schedule strength is a liability while a competitive road loss at Penn State suggests they can hang with higher-level teams without having collected the wins to prove it. The rest of the Ivy slate, with tricky road trips to Yale and Princeton and winnable dates at home against Brown and Columbia, is where they must take care of business to change the picture.
