Projection: need to automatically qualify

St Francis PA’s resume makes the need to win the conference clear because its handful of positive results all come against low-major opposition such as Chicago State, Stonehill, Wagner and Fairleigh Dickinson while its harshest defeats arrived on hostile floors against true powerhouses at Oklahoma, at TCU, at Florida and at Xavier and included a neutral-site loss to Belmont. Additional damaging road setbacks at Lehigh and Radford and losses to familiar regional foes like LIU Brooklyn and Central Connecticut sap any claim to a quality nonconference signature. The remaining slate offers winnable chances both away at New Haven, at Chicago State, at Mercyhurst and at Stonehill and at home against New Haven, Mercyhurst, LIU Brooklyn and Wagner, so the team can still improve its standing, but without an eye-catching win away from home or at a neutral site the cleanest path to the tournament runs through an automatic berth.
