Projection: need to automatically qualify

Temple's standing is logical because its resume mixes encouraging wins and damaging losses in ways a committee notices: the neutral-court victory over Princeton and the gritty road trip win at Davidson demonstrate the team can win outside its building, but a lopsided loss at Villanova and neutral setbacks to UC San Diego and Rhode Island have left a blemished profile without a signature neutral or top-road scalp to counterbalance those misses. That inconsistency explains why the safest path to the tournament runs through strong finishes, with meaningful opportunities coming up on the road at Wichita State and at Florida Atlantic and at home against Tulane and Rice where solid results would replace bad losses with résumé-building wins.
