Projection: need to automatically qualify

Iona’s résumé rests on a handful of eye-catching road and neutral wins that show this team can score away from home, most notably the victory at Missouri KC and the neutral-site win over Oregon State, plus a solid home result against Hofstra and a road victory at Delaware, but those positives are counterbalanced by an ugly neutral loss at Akron, a neutral setback to Wisconsin Green Bay and a discouraging home loss to Quinnipiac that give the committee pause; the remaining conference slate is full of games Iona should be expected to win and will help lock up a favorable spot but it offers few chances to add a marquee résumé booster, so the trip to St John’s and a deep run through the conference tournament are the clearest remaining opportunities to erase the bad nonconference losses and turn this into an unmistakable tournament résumé.
