Projection: need to automatically qualify

Holy Cross’s body of work points toward needing the Patriot League’s automatic qualification because the resume mixes a few encouraging results with several damaging defeats. The neutral victory over Hampton, the gritty road win at Fordham and home wins against Bucknell and Army show the team can close games, yet brutal losses on the road at BYU and Providence and lopsided setbacks at Harvard, Utah and Dartmouth have left the profile thin on signature wins. Success away from home has been scarce and the power‑conference road tests did not yield the kind of resume-building victories that attract an at‑large berth. With regular-season league dates remaining against Army, Boston University, Lehigh, Colgate, Loyola Maryland and Bucknell that offer chances to build momentum, the clear practical path to the national field runs through winning the conference tournament.
