Projection: need to automatically qualify

Iona’s profile reads like a team with flashes of quality but a resume that still points to needing the conference title to reach the field; the positives are tangible with a road win at Missouri KC, a neutral victory over Oregon State and solid road showings at Delaware and Vermont that show they can win away from home, while the negatives are equally glaring in a blowout at St John’s, a shocking loss at Marist and road setbacks at Mt St Mary’s and St Peter’s plus neutral losses to Akron and Wisconsin Green Bay that undercut the good wins; the remaining slate against conference foes, including a home date with Fairfield and road tests at Siena, Canisius and Niagara along with another meeting with St Peter’s, gives Iona clear opportunities to rebuild credibility but the margin for error is thin so the clearest path to the tournament is winning the Metro Atlantic title.
