Projection: need to automatically qualify

Monmouth’s resume reads like a team that has flashed resilience but also been undone by inconsistency, with its best moments coming in wins such as the road victory at Lafayette, the home hold against Princeton and the neutral-site outting against Ball State that showed an ability to grind out close games, while its worst results — the road setbacks at La Salle, Seton Hall and Georgia Tech and the neutral loss to Le Moyne — expose an inability to sustain that play against even middling competition. A competitive outing at Syracuse provides a tidy example of what this roster can do on the road, but the combination of damaging nonconference defeats and streaky offense and defense means the ledger needs bolstering. The remaining Coastal slate hands Monmouth several home opportunities against league opponents where wins would protect the profile and a handful of true road tests at Towson, UNC Wilmington, Hofstra and College of Charleston where victories would materially change how the committee views their résumé, so the season still contains a clear path to improve but also plenty of ways to fall short.
