Projection: need to automatically qualify

Queens’s position is logical because its season is split between an eye-catching, high-scoring side that produced dominant home wins over Gardner-Webb and South Carolina State and a shootout victory against UNC Greensboro, and a defense that has been repeatedly carved up in brutal true road tests at Villanova, Virginia, Arkansas, Auburn and Wake Forest. The team has shown it can win away from home in league play with victories at Jacksonville, North Florida, FGCU and Stetson, and it pushed Duquesne and Furman on the road, but a harmful home loss to Central Arkansas and a neutral-site setback to Winthrop leave the résumé short of what the committee rewards for an at-large bid. With a favorable run of conference games ahead that includes a road trip to Bellarmine and home dates against Jacksonville and North Florida, the clear path to the tournament runs through securing the conference’s automatic berth because the marquee losses to power opponents and those lopsided road defeats make an at-large argument unlikely.
