Projection: likely out

Rhode Island’s profile has clear highs and damaging lows: road victories at Yale, Davidson and Dayton and a neutral-site win over Temple show the Rams can win away from home, but those signature moments are undermined by surprising setbacks such as the home loss to McNeese State, neutral losses at Tulsa and Towson, and road defeats at Providence and George Mason that leave too many questions about consistency. The resume lacks wins over established upper-tier opponents and several poor results at home and on the road hurt the quadrant of resume the committee prizes. Remaining opportunities against Duquesne, Richmond, George Washington and St. Louis offer a path to repair the resume, yet until Rhode Island converts those chances the combination of thin quality wins and a handful of damaging losses makes an at-large spot unlikely.
