Projection: need to automatically qualify

Morgan State's placement makes sense because the nonconference body of work is defined by heavy road defeats at Georgetown, DePaul, California, San Francisco, Loyola Marymount and Old Dominion, while the few bright spots are narrow home wins over Niagara and South Carolina State and squeaky road victories at Delaware State, Howard and Norfolk State; committees value quality wins and road or neutral success and those kinds of resume-changing results are missing here. The remaining games against Coppin State, Delaware State, Maryland Eastern Shore, South Carolina State, Norfolk State, Howard and North Carolina Central offer chances to build momentum but not the kind of signature win that would create a compelling at-large case. That reality makes winning the conference tournament the clear route to the NCAA field.
