Projection: need to automatically qualify

Loyola Maryland appears headed toward needing to earn its spot through the Patriot League tournament because its résumé has few signature victories and several damaging defeats away from home. The highlights are limited to home wins over Bucknell and Boston University and a gritty road victory at Army, yet those are offset by nonconference blowouts and losses at Kentucky and at Duquesne along with neutral-site disappointment against Towson and a puzzling setback to NJIT. Struggles in true road environments against Fairfield, George Mason and Lehigh have repeatedly undercut the value of its wins. Remaining conference games offer a slim chance to shift perceptions, with the trip to Colgate and the road date at Boston University the most meaningful opportunities to add a high-quality result otherwise the surest path to the NCAA tournament runs through the Patriot League tournament.
