Projection: need to automatically qualify

A brutal nonconference itinerary at power conference destinations like Clemson, Providence, St. Louis and Nebraska produced some of the worst results on New Hampshire's ledger and left the team without a marquee win to point to, while a home setback to Brown compounds that negative headline. The team’s best signs have come in tight road showings at Fairfield and Dartmouth and a competitive outing at Harvard and George Mason, which indicate the squad can hang on the road even if it has not yet flipped those close games into signature victories. The remainder of the America East slate, featuring home dates against Maine, Binghamton and NJIT and trips to Vermont and Bryant, offers clear opportunities to accumulate conference wins and to chase a résumé-improving road victory that would blunt the damage from the tough early losses. If New Hampshire can convert those chances and avoid further bad losses, the narrative shifts; if not, the heavy nonconference setbacks will continue to define its resume.
